Vegetation and landscape around Lake Montcortès (Catalan pre-Pyrenees) as a tool for palaeoecological studies of lake sediments

摘要: Vegetation and landscape around lake Montcortes (catalan pre-pyrenees) as a tool for palaeoecological studies of sediMents.— Lake (42o 19′ N, 0o 59′ E; 1027 m elevation) is an excellent target highresolution because its annually-laminated sediments extending back to the early-middle Holocene. The detailed knowledge present vegetation patterns pollen they release essential reliable interpretation past dynamics. This study aims identify map types currently growing lake. For this purpose, quadrangular area ca. 48 ha was defined. floristic resulted in catalogue 534 species. analysis based on 42 phytosociological inventories used synthesise relevant plant units. As result, we obtained 52 units expressions CORINE habitats previously defined Catalonia. Each these described floristic, physiognomic, phytogeographic, environmental human-use terms. next step will be palynological more representative species types, means optimise future interpretations.
