Postglacial assembly of subalpine plant communities: Tabula rasa or nunatak model?

Astorga, G.; Jordan, G.; Brodribb, T.

ConferencePaper The Last glacial and post-glacial history of the vegetation from montane regions in the Southern Hemis- phere has been mainly studied from pollen evidence, and most of these studies reveal wide-spread tree- less conditions during these periods. However, it is widely recognised that pollen studies can be relatively uninformative in treeless situations, or determining the past position of treeline and glacial refugia. Plant macrofossil can assist these vegetation studies and provide direct evidence of the presence of a taxon in the paleovegetation mainly because their limited taphonomic transport, and ner taxonomic resolution (Birks, 2001; Jackson and Booth, 2007).
