The Holocene and Anthropocene Environmental History of Mexico: A Paleoecological Approach on Mesoamerica

Editat de Nuria Torrescano- Valle, Gerald A. Islebe, Priyadarsi D. Roy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2021
This book provides essential information on Mexico’s Holocene and Anthropocene climate and vegetation history. Considering the geography of Mexico – which is home to a variety of climatic and environmental conditions, from desert and tropical to high mountain climates – this book focuses on its postglacial paleoecology and paleoclimatology. Further, it analyses human intervention since the middle Holocene as a major agent of environmental change. Offering a valuable tool for understanding past climate change and its relationship with present climate change, the book is a must-read for botanists, ecologists, palaeontologists and graduate students in related fields.
