Patterns of Holocene climatic change in the Midwestern United States

Auteur :
WRIGHT JR, H. E.

Description :
The Holocene pollen sequence in the Minnesota area is « asymmetric » around the so-called prairie period : the early Holocene is dominated by elm and the late Holocene by oak. The elm zone is interpreted as a manifestation of summer monsoonal rains enhanced by the Milankovitch insolation maximum, and the pine in the north is interpreted as a result of summer cooling near the retreating ice sheet.
