Hussein Biología Flora Syria Holocene palynology paleoclimates The goal of this research was to reconstruct the vegetational and climatic changes that took placeduring the late Pleisocene and Holocene in southwestern Syria. This reconstruction was based on palynological data obtained from the analysis of 27 sediments and surface samples (with a total thickness of 4.55 m) collected from Al-Hijaneh Lake basin (late Pleistocene) and from Al-Aouaj River valley (Holocene). Three pollen zones were established. The oldest one (zone A) corresponds to the latePleistocene lacustrine deposits of Lake Al-Hijaneh. Zones B and C were defined in the Holocene fluvial-lacustrine deposits of the Al-Aouaj River valley. These three pollen assemblage zones are correlatedto synchronic and similar C14 dated pollen zones from Syria, Turkey, Iran and Greece. Thisallows a more definite age determination for the deposits of this study. The region´s past climates andvegetation are discussed. 2006 artículo científico 0011-6793 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=66944203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=669 Darwiniana application/pdf Instituto de Botánica Darwinion Darwiniana (Argentina) Num.2 Vol.44 |
