E. Brugiapaglia et Jl. Debeaulieu, LATE-GLACIAL AND HOLOCENE VEGETATION DYNA MICS IN CENTRAL ITALY - SWAMP OF COLFIORITO (UMBRIA), Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Sciences de la terre et des planetes, 321(7), 1995, pp. 617-622
A new pollen diagram for the swamp of Colfiorito is presented. It cove
rs the Lateglacial to Holocene period. Four C-14 datings have been obt
ained. The presence of a hiatus between the Lateglacial and the Holoce
ne prevents us from showing the early stages of the forest dynamics. A
s for the Holocene, characterized by the dominance of deciduous oaks,
regional and local vegetation variations, due to climatic changes and
human influence, are shown.
