Diagnostic For Mid-Holocene Precipitation Over Northern Africa
Entry ID:
MIDHOLO_PRECIP_NAFRICA
Summary
Abstract:
Pollen evidence indicates that grassland and xerophytic woodland/scrubland
occurred in ares of northern Africa characterised by desert today during the mid-Holocene (Jolly et al., 1998a, 1998b). Mid-Holocene pollen assemblages for sites south of 23° N do not contain taxa with desert affinities (Dominique Jolly, unpublished analyses), indicating that the region south of 23° N was characterised by ...
