Mediterranean landscape change during the Holocene: synthesis, comparison and regional trends in population, land cover and climate.
C. Neil Roberts,Jessie Woodbridge,Jessie Woodbridge,Alessio Palmisano,Andrew Bevan,Ralph Fyfe,Stephen Shennan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative perspective on how seven different Mediterranean regions, from Iberia and Morocco to the Levant, have been transformed by human and natural agencies during the last century is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used archeobotany to discover details on local land uses in prehistoric settlements developed during the middle and beginning of late Holocene, and six archaeological sites from four countries (Spa...

N. van Leeuwen,Jessie Woodbridge,Jessie Woodbridge +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed centennial and millennial-scale shifts in fire regimes and compositional turnover to track the consequences of fire regime shifts on Mediterranean vegetation diversity, and found that fire episodes increased open vegetation diversity and decreased woodland diversity and significantly altered richness on a regional scale.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates
Gerard C. Bond,William J. Showers,Maziet Cheseby,Rusty Lotti,Peter Almasi,Peter B deMenocal,Paul Priore,Heidi Cullen,Irka Hajdas,Georges Bonani +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene

TL;DR: A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's “1500-year” cycle, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.

CONISS: a FORTRAN 77 program for stratigraphically constrained cluster analysis by the method of incremental sum of squares
TL;DR: ConISS is a FORTRAN 77 program for stratigraphically constrained cluster analysis by the method of incremental sum of squares, which has been used widely for unconstrained analyses and has proved particularly satisfactory for pollen frequency data.

TL;DR: In this paper, an examination of similar to50 globally distributed paleoclimate records reveals as many as six periods of significant rapid climate change during the time periods 9000-8000, 6000-5000, 4200-3800, 3500-2500, 1200-1000, and 600-150 cal yr B.P.

TL;DR: In this paper, a more detailed and extended version of the Greenland Stadials (GS) and Greenland Interstadials (GI) template for the whole of the last glacial period is presented, based on a synchronization of the NGRIP, GRIP, and GISP2 ice-core records.
