From: A neotropical perspective on the uniqueness of the Holocene among interglacials
Charcoal and Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) Axis 1 scores are plotted. DCA scores are calculated on the entire dataset and standardized by setting to zero at the start of each interglacial. Higher DCA values represent pollen assemblage changes toward landscapes with more arboreal elements and greater productivity. Plots run from 5000 years before the onset of the interglacial through the first 25,000 years of the interglacial. The Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 1 curve is shown for comparison with each interglacial. Northern Hemispheric (primarily) warm periods, i.e. the LR04 benthic stack data, which is a proxy for deep sea temperature77, are plotted for comparison. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
