Fig. 4: Timing of the onset of the YD and the Holocene in high-resolution palynological sites.
From: Synchronous vegetation response to the last glacial-interglacial transition in northwest Europe
The onset of change for the YD and Holocene (dark blue), the date for the YD and Holocene onset sensu stricto (blue) and the end of the transitions (light blue) are given with 2-sigma uncertainty intervals. All dates are given in cal. yr BP except for the Meerfelder Maar ages for the onset of the YD, which are given relative to the LST, which is indicated by the solid red line. All records show a synchronous onset of the transition into the YD, with more abrupt transitions (shorter interval between YDearly and YDeq) visible for the German sites. The dates for the onset of the Holocene are more variable, reflecting larger uncertainties in the individual age/depth models. Note that the date for HOLeq at Kråkenes extends beyond the plotted time interval.
