Last glacial maximum biomes reconstructed from pollen and plant macrofossil data from northern Eurasia
International audience Pollen and plant macrofossil data from northern Eurasia were used to reconstruct the vegetation of the last glacial maximum (LGM: 18,000 +/- 2000 C-14 yr BP) using an objective quantitative method for interpreting pollen data in terms of the biomes they represent (Prentice Et...
