“…These estimates are lower than in other sectors on the Italian flank of the Alps and in the Apennines (Giraudi and Frezzotti, 1997;. This figure is consistent with higher rainfall in south-eastern Alps due to a southern atmospheric circulation promoting moisture advection from the Mediterranean (Kuhlemann et al, 2009;Pini et al, 2010;Luetscher et al, 2015). In this mean, high rainfall in the Vipava catchment triggered high sediment discharge in the confined floodplain, in equilibrium with the aggradation of the damming Soča fan, hence preventing the formation of a deep, permanent lake.…”

“…Several recent palynological investigations on the vegetation history in northern Italy provide the base for a late Quaternary biostratigraphic assessment of the Po basin bioprovince (Wick, 1996a;Wick and Tinner 1997;Pini et al, 2009;Pini et al, 2010). We analysed the palynostratigraphy of the Mosi di Crema basin filling with the aim to obtain biostratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental information.…”

We reconstructed the geological evolution and the history of the fluvial network in the central part of the Po Plain in Lombardy, northern Italy, since the Middle Würm. We focused on evidences of dissection and incision of former rivers into the large outwash fans originating from piedmont glaciers of the southern Alps in the Last Glacial Maximum. The studied area is located between the Po River and the Alps north of the Adda/Serio river confluence, around the town of Crema. Morphometric analysis and stratigraphic investigation were carried out, supported by palaeobotany, sand petrography and radiometric dating. The obtained stratigraphic framework is presented by cross sections and by a geological map. During the Middle Würm, an alluvial fan of the Adda River oriented NWN-SSE occupied the area, feeding south and west the Romanengo hill. A substantial reorganisation of the fluvial network occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum. Since 32-30 ka cal. BP, the area was fed by two outwash rivers, originated from the Adda and the Oglio piedmont glaciers, both characterised by a prevalent southward drainage, 160°-170° S in the LGM. After the LGM the fan-head was dissected by trunk channels and, at the downslope fan limit, the southward flow shifted to a southeastern direction. Thereafter, major dissection and downcutting occurred in the Lateglacial, confining the major rivers into large alluvial corridors, further shaped by lateral erosion during the Holocene. The Late Holocene history of the Serio River is marked by fluvial floods during the late Roman Age, and by a capture of the lower reach by the Adda River. The geomorphological evidence supports the historically inferred age assignment of the diversion to 12th-14th c. AD. (Marchetti, 1990(Marchetti, , 2002. fig. 10 à fig. 12) fig. 11 et fig. 13A) D'un point de vue méthodologique, on a préparé un DTM détaillé en se servant des points cotés de la Cartographie Technique de la Région Lombardie (fig. 2). La succession stratigraphique a été décrite sur le terrain à partir de plusieurs affleurements et carottes, dont les plus intéressantes ont été soumises aux analyses radiocarbone, palynologiques et minéralogiques (sables). 14 dates AMS ont été obtenues sur plantes terrestres, calibrées avec CALIB à partir de la courbe de calibration IntCal09 (Reimer et al., 2009 ; tab. 2) et indiquées dans le texte « cal. BP ». Certains vestiges archéo-logiques présents dans les dépôts ont été examinés, étant donné qu'ils peuvent fournir des indices chronologiques utiles. L'analyse palynologique s'est faite sur 400 grains. Les plantes aquatiques et de marais ont été exclues de la somme pollinique. Le diagramme pollinique intègre la séquence de tourbes et de tourbes sableuses déposées dans le marais de Mosi di Crema (fig. 9), quelques données polliniques sur échantillons isolés, prélevés dans les dépôts lacustres de Cresmiero, et la séquence fluvio-palustre de Ripalta Guerina (tab. 5). Pour chacun des 13 échantillons de sables étu-diés, 400 points ont été comptés avec la méth...

“…In this context, the present paper aims to undertake an environmental and climatic reconstruction of the MIS3 succession on the basis of the small-mammal assemblages (insectivores, bats and rodents), and to frame our results within the ecological context previously defined on the basis of palaeontological (large-mammals: Cassoli and Tagliacozzo, 1994;Fiore et al, 2004;Romandini et al, 2014;birds: Cassoli and Tagliacozzo, 1994;Gala and Tagliacozzo, 2005;Peresani et al, 2011a;Fiore et al, in press) and anthracological data (Maspero, 1991e1993;Peresani et al, 2011b;Basile et al, 2014). In addition, this ecological reconstruction will be discussed in a broader scenario incorporating other sources, such as pollen studies of continental lakes in Italy (Watts et al, 2000;Kaltenrieder et al, 2009;Pini et al, 2010), studies of other Italian sites with a similar chronology and comparable small-mammal associations, such as Riparo Mochi (Berto, 2013), Grotta del Broion (Colamussi, 2002) and Grotta Paglicci (Berto, 2013), as well as the global context of the climate changes that occurred during this mid-late Pleistocene period.…”
