Iran's Climatic Change in the Holocene
Introduction Paleoclimatics studies can respond the many uncertainties about past climate change; an issue that is being studied seriously in the world but less attention has been paid in Iran. The Late Quaternary can be considered as Holocene. Holocene, which spans over 11,000 years ago; In general, it is considered as a period with relatively warm and stable climatic conditions. However, rec...
متن کاملResponses of an arctic landscape to Lateglacial and early Holocene climatic changes: the importance of moisture
Many of the physical and biological processes that characterize arctic ecosystems are unique to high latitudes, and their sensitivities to climate change are poorly understood. Stratigraphic records of land–surface processes and vegetation change in the Arctic Foothills of northern Alaska reveal how tundra landscapes responded to climatic changes between 13,000 and 8000 C yr BP. Peat deposition...
متن کاملA record of Lateglacial and early Holocene environmental and ecological change from southwestern Connecticut, USA
Analyses of a sediment core from Highstead Swamp in southwestern Connecticut, USA, reveal Lateglacial and early Holocene ecological and hydrological changes. Lateglacial pollen assemblages are dominated by Picea and Pinus subg. Pinus, and the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) cold interval is evidenced by higher abundance of Abies and Alnus viridis subsp. crispa. As climate warmed at the end of t...
متن کاملBio-climatic Modeling of the Potential Distribution of Coastal Wetlands in Response to Climate Change, North-eastern Nsw Australia
Climate change will have a profound impact on coastal ecosystems, particularly, wetland cover types. It is therefore important that such changes are predicted so that appropriate adaptations can be suggested. This study investigated the changes of spatial distribution of four coastal wetland plant species in response to potential climate change in northeastern NSW, Australia. The study used BIO...
متن کاملMammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change
Multiple episodes of rapid and gradual climatic changes influenced the evolution and ecology of mammalian species and communities throughout the Cenozoic. Climatic change influenced the abundance, genetic diversity, morphology, and geographic ranges of individual species. Within communities these responses interacted to catalyze immigration, speciation, and extinction. Combined they affected lo...
