Summary palynostratigraphic data from Lake Fimon. (a): synthetic composite pollen record obtained from cores FL (12–27 ka) and Fimon PD (> 27 ka) and documenting the history of plant ecosystems during the whole Late Pleistocene (modified after Monegato et al.48). Only selected pollen curves are shown: sum of trees and shrubs (black), Juniperus (yellow), upland herbs (light green), xerophytes (blue): sum of Artemisia, Chenopodiaceae, Helianthemum, Ephedraceae, Centaurea scabiosa, warm-temperate woody plants (pink): sum of Corylus, deciduous Quercus, Tilia, Ulmus. (b) Selected interval indicated by a rectangle and analysed at low resolution in a previous study47. (c) New high-resolution paleoecological record from the Fimon PD core, with special attention to the MIS 3–2 transition.
