| Very little is known about the impact of atmospheric carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2) on the shaping of biomes. The development of pCO2 throughout the Brunhes Chron may be considered a natural experiment to elucidate relationships between vegetation and pCO2. While the glacial periods show low to very low values (~ 230 to ~ 190 ppmv, respectively), the pCO2 levels of the interglacial periods vary from intermediate to relatively high (~250 to ~ 270, respectively). To study the influence of pCO2 on the Pleistocene development of SE African vegetation, we used the pollen record of a marine core (MD96-2048) retrieved from Maputo Bay south of the Limpopo River mouth in combination with stable isotope and geochemical proxies. Applying endmember analysis, four... |
