Abstract

We present pollen-analytical results from lateglacial Salada Mediana, a playa-lake in central Ebro Valley, semi-arid northeastern Spain. The pollen record shows abundant Corylus avellana and evergreen Quercus, together with the occurrence of other tree species. In view of the importance and rapidity of lateglacial colonisation, it is suggested that, due to local edaphic moisture availability, the valley was a glacial refugium for temperate trees during the last ice age.
