Ricostruzione dei paleoclima dell'Olocene nelle Alpi Orientali da dati palinologici - I. Struttura del progetto

Abstract

The paper describes the structure of an on-going project aimed at the numerical reconstruction of mid- and late Holocene climate in the Eastern Alps. This will be achieved by integrating actuopalynological, vegetational, climatic and Holocene pollen data. The numerical approach used is that of the development of transfer functions between modern pollen samples, vegetation surrounding the site, and local climate; these are in turn applied to the Holocene set. A list of sites sampled for actuopalynological purposes, together with the sampling methodology used, is given.
