Persistence of relict tree species in Mediterranean environments is becoming increasingly unlikely in view of ongoing and future global change. The variability in the Holocene climate and more recent anthropogenic impacts have driven many populations to fragmentation and isolation, and even to extinction. However, some have persisted to the present...

In this paper we present a review of the available Holocene pollen records from the Spanish Central System (113 sites and 150 14C dates). Palynological data obtained from pollen analyses of peat-bogs, lakes and archaeological sites, as well as radiocarbon dating, were used to infer the human impact on vegetation and landscape during the last 9 mill...

The lower Muge valley, a tributary of the lower Tagus River (Portugal), features an important archaeological record of Mesolithic shell midden sites. Archaeological research has long assumed that tidally influenced valley floor environments in the immediate locality of the sites provided a rich food resource, attracting Mesolithic settlement. To da...

FishBanks, a well-known fisheries management simulation game, was used to test the effect of institutional settings on the biological and economic performance of fisheries. The game was played by 48 groups of between 20 and 25 undergraduate Environmental Science students in two different time lengths (10 years versus 15 years) and institutional set...

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the variation in the vegetation during the Holocene on the Northern Meseta through pollen analysis in order to determine the roles played by Pinus and Quercus in the vegetation dynamics. A new pollen sequence, Camporredondo, in the centre of the Duero River basin, Northern Meseta, Spain, is presented. It cove...

We present a new stratigraphic (pollen and nonpollen microfossils and charcoal particle) sequence with five AMS dates, covering about the last 9000 yr, of a core collected from the Spanish northern meseta, one of the territories of the Iberian Peninsula for which little paleobotanical information is available. The results support the hypothesis of...

A pollen study of a peat-bog sited in the pinewood of Lillo (León, Spain) is presented. The diagram shows an initial phase where a well-developed pinewood was dominant with deciduous species, followed by a selective clearance process of Pinus. Finally, the pinewood recovers again towards a similar state to that described at the beginning of the pro...

Pollen and charcoal analyses of a core from Pelagallinas peatbog, located in the Sierra de Alto Rey at the eastern sector of the Central Mountain Range (Guadalajara), show the environmental history of the montane vegetation during the last 4000 years. The results indicate the importance of pinewoods in the landscape of these mountains. These pine f...

Analyses of pollen, non-pollen microfossils and carbonaceous particles from a valley mire in the Lozoya Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama, which forms part of the Spanish Central System, are presented. The sedimentary sequence, which covers the last 8500 years, provides one of the oldest records in the central sector of this mountain chain. The co...

In this paper the vegetation dynamics of the northern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos is examined. Pollen and other microfossil analysis were carried out at the deposit of Navarredonda (Avila, Spain). The section spans the last 2000 years and shows a gradual decline of the arboreal vegetation basically represented by a pinewood. This environment dis...

Bibliografía p. 183-201 Obra que recoge un análisis de restos vegetales aparecidos en yacimientos arqueológicos de toda la Comunidad de Madrid, desde la prehistoria hasta nuestros días. Los análisis de restos polínicos y vegetales de origen arqueológico, han sido comparados con secuencias similares procedentes de turberas y depósitos naturales del...

Se presenta el estudio polínico de una zona higroturbosa en la provincia de Soria que comprende la fase inicial del Holoceno, según ponen de manifiesto las dataciones de radiocarbono efectuadas. La presencia de un pinar en toda la secuencia analizada, junto a la comparación con otros estudios polínicos próximos, evidencian la importancia de los pin...

Marine fisheries have different institutional settings that so far have not prevented a steady decline of fisheries around the world. Because of that, new institutions are being proposed. Management simulation game models have been developed, the most famous of which, FishBanks, is widely used as a teaching tool. We use FishBanks to test the effect...
