Hi Testa, your question is not so clear: what do you mean with 'recent'? do you need data from holocene pollen sequences? Are you studying terrestrial or marine cores? Central mediterranean?

Hi, Im really sorry for the unclear question,

I'm studying Alnus' distrubution, so terrestrial pollen all across South Europe and North Africa. I have late holocene sequences but my instructions are to compare them with the latest updated pollen data (from each "mediterranean" country).

Thanks

Thanks a million Alwynne

Dear Tesfa,

you can also add some information from the book chapter I send you in attach, and from the paper:

Anna Maria Mercuri, Laura Sadori and Paloma Uzquiano Ollero, 2011 - Mediterranean and north-African cultural adaptations to mid-Holocene environmental and climatic changes. The Holocene 21:189-206

Thank you very much!
