Abstract

We evaluated pollen-climate models developed for past temperature reconstruction in northern Italy by comparing polleninferred temperature series with site-specific instrumental series in two records covering the last 200 years and provided with a pollen sample resolution of 5/9 years. Moderate to good correlation is found. We discuss the methodological approach and the possible influence of human activities in the pollen-inferred reconstructions. North Italy
