| Abstract: | This paper deals with the results of pollen analysis of a 70-m thick series of peat, calcareous mud and clay near Granada in southern Spain (Fig.1). The upper 20 m of the section represent the Holocene and Weichselian (last Glacial), the part below 20 m is believed to represent the Eemian (last Interglacial), the Saalian and part of the Holsteinian Interglacial. During Glacial times the local type of vegetation corresponded with that of an open steppe with stands of Pinus. During Interglacial times a more oceanic Quercus-Pinus forest with Ericaceae was present. If the interpretation of the lower part is correct, Tsuga and Cedrus occurred in southern Spain as late as the Holsteinian. |
