Response to Comment by Brovkin and Claussen on “Climate-Driven Ecosystem Succession in the Sahara: The Past 6000 Years”
Abstract
The Lake Yoa record and archaeological data provide adequate evidence that mid-Holocene
aridification did not occur abruptly across all of North Africa. Modeling results on the
issue of abrupt versus gradual desiccation of the Sahara are sufficiently diverse that paleoecological
data from a continuous natural archive can usefully guide the evaluation of model parameters
responsible for this diversity.
