However palaeoecology of fire is still poorly understood, especially at high-altitude mountain environments, despite the fact that these are fire-sensitive ecosystems and their resilience might be affected by changing fire regimes. We reconstruct wildfire occurrence since the Lateglacial (14.7calka BP) to the Mid-Holocene (6calka BP) and investigate the climate–fuel–fire relationships in a sedimentary sequence located at the treeline in the Central Spanish Pyrenees. Pollen, macro- and micro-charcoal were analysed for the identification of fire events (FE) in order to detect vegetation post-fire response and to define biomass–fire interactions. mean fire intervals (mfi) reduced since the Lateglacial, peaking at 9–7.7calka BP while from 7.7 to 6calka BP no fire is recorded. We hypothesise that Early Holocene maximum summer insolation, as climate forcing, and mesophyte forest expansion, as a fuel-creating factor, were responsible for accelerating fire occurrence in the Central Pyrenees treeline. We also found that fire had long-lasting negative effects on most of the treeline plant communities and that forest contraction from 7.7calka BP is likely linked to the ecosystem's threshold response to high fire frequencies.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fernández, Santiago</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fuentes, Noemí</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrión, José S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">González-Sampériz, Penélope</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montoya, Encarna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil, Graciela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vega-Toscano, Gerardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riquelme, José a.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Holocene and Upper Pleistocene pollen sequence of Carihuela Cave, southern Spain</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geobios</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">historical biogeography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holocene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">palaeoecology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Upper Pleistocene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vegetation history</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">40</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">75-90</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A new pollen sequence (ca. 15,700–1250 yr BP) is presented for three stratigraphical sections of Carihuela Cave (Granada, southeastern Spain), thus completing a record that covers from the last Interglacial to late Holocene. The Late Glacial is characterized by open landscapes with junipers and early colonisation of Quercus, while the Holocene is depicted by mixed oak forests, with a diversity of broad-leaf trees and scrub, which decrease after ca. 5470 yr BP synchronously with the expansion of xerophytes and occurrence of indicators of anthropogenic disturbance.
