Laguna Seca sediments reveal environmental and climate change during the latest Pleistocene and Holocene in Sierra Nevada, southern Iberian Peninsula

“…The LS and other pollen records show that pine forests were an important component of the last glacial vegetation in the southern Iberian Peninsula (this study; Fernández et al, 2007;Carrión et al, 2010Carrión et al, , 2019Desprat et al, 2015;Camuera et al, 2019;Ochando et al, 2020). Pines were the most predominant trees in an open woodland landscape located at low elevations in the southern Iberian Peninsula (González-Sampériz et al, 2010;Rubiales et al, 2010;Camuera et al, 2019), as during the Last Glaciation, alpine, subalpine and oromediterranean pine species (mostly P. nigra and P. sylvestris) were displaced to the meso and thermomediterranean vegetation belts (Badal et al, 2008;Carrión et al, 2010;Camuera et al, 2019).…”
