Abstract
A long bore-hole drilled in the ancient maar-lake sediments of Valle di Castiglione has enabled the history of the vegetation and climate of the region for the last 250,000 years to be reconstructed. The forest pollen zones are different from each other by the presence of species which are today extinct in Italy, and by the diversity of the dominant vegetational configurations. Before the Eemian, the pollen record from Valle di Castiglione can be compared with very few other European records. After the Eemian, the biostratigraphy corresponds by and large with what is known about southern and western Europe, but at the same time it has peculiar floristic and vegetational features, which may be due to the particular geographical position of Valle di Castiglione. © 1990.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
