Vegetation dynamics and climate changes at Camerota (Campania, Italy) at the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Camerota basin is a structural depression identified in the central part of the Bulgheria massif during the Upper Pliocene extentional tectonics that affected the eastern margin of the southern Tyrrhenian basin. Pollen analysis of two cores drilled in the Camerota palaeo-lacustrine succession pointed out the vegetational pattern of the Bulgheria massif during a short period probably close to the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary. The noticeable presence of Tsuga and Cedrus, elements of the altitudinal coniferous forest, suggets that the deposition of both portions of the lacustrine succession occurred during interglacial-glacial transitional phases characterized by a temperature decrease with the maintenance of high moisture.
