Ecological thresholds and patterns of millennial-scale variability: the response of vegetation in Greece during the last glacial period
The regional expression of millennial-scale climate variability during the last glacial is examined with particular reference to the vegetation response in Greece. Inspection of three pollen records from contrasting bioclimatic areas suggests that differences in the magnitude of cold events as recog...

The regional expression of millennial-scale climate variability during the last glacial is examined with particular reference to the vegetation response in Greece.

By contrast, records from sites where populations approach their tolerance threshold do not appear to resolve differences in the amplitude of the climate oscillations.
