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...

Lake Prespa Pollen Data 320cm doi Spatial
Pollen assemblages of a sediment sequence (Co1215) from Lake Prespa reveal substantial vegetational and environmental changes on a regional scale for the Lateglacial and Holocene. The age-depth model, based on radiocarbon dating and tephrochronology, indicates continuous sedimentation for the last c. 17 000 cal BP. An open landscape with prominent cold-resistant steppe vegetation and isolated tree patches (mainly Pinus) is inferred for the Lateglacial...

PalaeoClimate Classifications (PMIP2 Köppen-Geiger) Spatial PaleoMaps
This dataset represents palaeo climate classification according to the updatede Köppen-Geiger [1] classification scheme. The classifiaction is derived from the PMIP2 [2] palaeoenvironmental simulations data for the time virables of LGM (21k), Mid-holocene (6k) and Pre-Industrial (0k).
For the LGM, a LandMask consisting of the -120m coastline [3] was used, for the Mid-Holocene and Pre-Industrial classifications the coastlines of today [4] wehere used.
