Middle Miocene vegetation of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula), as inferred from fossil pollen records

In the Mediterranean region, the study of fossil pollen has provided a comprehensive spatiotemporal picture of the Neogene flora and vegetation. The NW Mediterranean sector is a reference area for the study of vertebrate evolution, especially during the Middle Miocene, but paleofloristic and paleove...

The MA approach is consistent with the available paleoclimatic evidence but special care should be placed on the reliability of overly precise quantitative estimates and the latent danger of circularity when analyzing the biotic responses to climatic changes.
