摘要: Abstract We have reassessed the palynological record of Equus Cave in Savanna Biome southern Kalahari, one longest Late Quaternary pollen records for semi-arid central interior South Africa. combined published results from cave, derived hyena coprolites and rubified deposits which they occur, into a single sequence. By re-considering chronology this sequence, we critically evaluated palaeoenvironmental site. compared evidence to that longer Wonderwerk (stalagmite, sediments dung), also located Biome. Then, contrasted with other previously sequences range sources several sites These follow broad northwest southeast transect c. 500 km through Grassland Nama Karoo Biomes Free State Eastern Cape. Applying Principal Components Analysis data, climatic signals at regional scale refine reconstructions changes
