Drought and societal collapse 3200 years ago in the Eastern Mediterranean: a review

David Kaniewski, Joël Guiot, Elise Van Campo

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change > 6 > 4 > 369 - 382

One of the goals of climate scientists is to understand how climate shifts may have changed the course of history and influenced culture at millennial timescales. Repeatedly, environmental degradation has upset the balance between people, their habitat, and the socioeconomic frameworks in which they live. Among these imbalances, drought, firmly rooted in people's minds as a catalyst of harvest failures...

First evidence of agro-pastoral farming and anthropogenic impact in the Taman Peninsula, Russia

David Kaniewski, Matthieu Giaime, Nick Marriner, Christophe Morhange, more

Quaternary Science Reviews > 2015 > 114 > Complete > 43-51

Debate on the complex coevolution that has shaped interactions between forested ecosystems and humans through constantly evolving land-use practices over the past millennia has long been centered on the Mediterranean because this area is seen as the cradle for the birth and growth of agricultural activities. Here, we argue that the transition from hunting–gathering by Mesolithic foragers to the food-producing...

Hydroclimatic changes in northern Levant over the past 400,000 years

Françoise Gasse, Laurence Vidal, Elise Van Campo, François Demory, more

Quaternary Science Reviews > 2015 > 111 > Complete > 1-8

The Levant, a transition zone between the temperate Mediterranean domain and subtropical deserts, is a key area to study the latitudinal migrations of zonal climatic belts in response to glacial-interglacial conditions. The region underwent large climatic shifts during the Late Quaternary, with dramatic impacts on water resources and human populations. This paper presents the unique long-term hydroclimatic...

Primary domestication and early uses of the emblematic olive tree: palaeobotanical, historical and molecular evidence from the Middle East

David Kaniewski, Elise Van Campo, Tom Boiy, Jean‐Frédéric Terral, more

Biological Reviews > 87 > 4 > 885 - 899

Our knowledge of the origins of olive tree domestication in the Middle East and on the processes governing its extension and persistence in different vegetation types from prehistory through antiquity to modern times derives from diverse sources, spanning the biological sciences to the humanities. Nonetheless, it lacks a robust overview that may lead to floating interpretations. This is especially...

A modern pollen rain study from the Black Sea coast of Romania

Ingrid Rossignol, David Kaniewski, Elise Van Campo, Mihai Petrescu, more

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology > 2012 > 174 > Complete > 39-47

This paper documents the modern pollen rain in southeast Romania and explores the potential factors influencing vegetation communities. The analysis should help in the interpretation of the region's fossil pollen records. Thirty surface soil samples were collected along a southeast–northwest transect in Dobrogea, in a low plateau region separating the Razelm and Sinoie Lakes, near the Danube Delta...

Hydrological modeling of tropical closed Lake Ihotry (SW Madagascar): Sensitivity analysis and implications for paleohydrological reconstructions over the past 4000 years

Christine Vallet-Coulomb, Françoise Gasse, Laurent Robison, Luc Ferry, more

Journal of Hydrology > 2006 > 331 > 1-2 > 257-271

Lake Ihotry is a closed saline lake extending in the semi-arid southwestern part of the Madagascar Island. Monitoring of lake level and chemistry, rainfall and pan evaporation close to the lake was conducted over more than two years, recording large seasonal variations in both lake area and salinity. In addition, diatom and pollen data from a 4000 years-sediment core showed that hydrological fluctuations...

Mangrove palynology in recent marine sediments off Cameroon

Elise Van Campo, Martin Darius Bengo

Marine Geology > 2004 > 208 > 2-4 > 315-330

Based on a palynological analysis of marine sediment surface samples, we obtained the modern distribution of pollen and spores on the continental shelf off Cameroon, to examine their dispersal relative to vegetation sources on the adjacent continent. Special attention is paid to the mangrove pollen assemblage, whose dominant type is Rhizophora, which is the most abundant pollen in the overall modern...

A 40,000-yr Pollen and Diatom Record from Lake Tritrivakely, Madagascar, in the Southern Tropics

Françoise Gasse, Elise Van Campo

Quaternary Research > 1998 > 49 > 3 > 299-311

Links between southern and northern hemisphere climates during the Late Quaternary are poorly known, partly due to the scarcity of continuous climatic records in the southern tropics. Pollen and diatom evidence from Lake Tritrivakely (19°47′S) provides information on vegetational and hydrological changes in the central highlands of Madagascar over the past 40,000 yr. Most of the record reflects natural...
