Summary
Abstract: Palaeoclimates across Europe for 6000 yr BP were estimated from pollen data
using the modern pollen analogue technique constrained with lake-level data.
The constraint consists of restricting the set of modern pollen samples
considered as analogues of the fossil samples to those locations where the
implied change in annual precipitation minus evapotranspiration (PE) is
consistent with the ... View entire text
