Three principal paleoecological phases are described: the first corresponds to the Upper Paleolithic (Würm III), the period of maximum cold, dominated by Juniperus assemblages. The second phase includes levels from the end of the Mesolithic and early Neolithic. It shows the appearance of mesothermic species such as Buxus sempervirens, Acer sp. and Quercus ilex, at the same time as the development of a thermophilic suite of species e.g. Olea europaea, Rosmarinus officinalis and Pistacia. During this period, the effect of man on the environment remained slight. The third phase consists of the middle Neolithic and more recent periods and reveals the degradation of the environment due to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. The Garrigue—a mediterranean open human-influenced vegetation—has persisted up to the present.</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%">Vernet, Jean-Louis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La vegetation du bassin de l'aude, entre pyrenees et massif central, au tardiglaciaire et au postglaciaire d'apres l'analyse anthracologique</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CHARCOAL ANALYSIS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">human influence (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyrenees</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">vegetation succession</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1980</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33-55</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This study presents the first synthesis of the Late and Postglacial vegetation between the Pyrénées and the Massif Central, in the Aude Basin at lower elevation. The results are based upon the identification of more than 2,000 charcoal pieces from prehistoric settlements. Firs and pines (Pinus sylvestris) persist in the Pyrenean area as far as the Neolithic, contrary to the south of the Massif Central where a Mediterranean influence is recorded. Refuges of vegetation give the best explanation for Late Glacial phytogeography; evidence for these refuges has been found at Belvis. In the Mediterranean area we can describe three vegetation successions during Postglacial time. The early vegetation was dominated by pines and deciduous oaks (Preboreal, Boreal). Later deciduous oak forests with thermophilous plants were growing (Atlantic period). Finally, in the Subboreal and Subatlantic period evergreen oak forests (Quercus ilex) are extended. The late extension of Quercus ilex (Subatlantic or earlier) is of anthropic origin.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
