Climate-Driven Ecosystem Succession in the Sahara: The Past 6000 Years doi Spatial
Desiccation of the Sahara since the middle Holocene has eradicated all but a few natural
archives recording its transition from a “green Sahara” to the present hyperarid desert. Our
continuous 6000-year paleoenvironmental reconstruction from northern Chad shows progressive
drying of the regional terrestrial ecosystem in response to weakening insolation forcing of the
African monsoon and abrupt hydrological change in the local aquatic ecosystem controlled
by site-specific thresholds. Strong reductions...

Climate and environmental change in the Balkans over the last 17 ka recorded in sediments from Lake Prespa (Albania/F.Y.R. of Macedonia/Greece) Spatial
This paper presents sedimentological, geochemical, and biological data from Lake Prespa (Albania/Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia/Greece). The 320 cm core sequence (Co1215) covers the last 17 ka calBP and reveals significant change in climate and environmental conditions on a local and regional scale. The sediment record suggests typical stadial conditions from 17.1 to 15.7 ka calBP, documented through low lake productivity, well-mixed conditions, and cold-resistant steppe catchment vegetation. Warming...
