1) Introduction: The Holocene and Anthropocene Environmental History, of Mexico -- 2) Paleoclimate of the Gulf of California (Northwestern Mexico) during the last 2000 years -- 3) Holocene hydroclimate of the subtropical Mexico: a state of the art -- 4)The Environment of Ancient Cloud Forests in the Mexican Pacific -- 5) Sea level change and its influence on the coastal landscape in the Gulf of Mexico during the Holocene -- 6) Insights into the Holocene environmental history of the highlands in central Mexico -- 7) Integration of landscape approaches for the spatial reconstruction of the vegetation -- 8) Volcanic Activity in Mexico during the Holocene -- 9) Human Influence vs Natural Climate Variability -- 10) Holocene Paleoecology and Paleoclimatology of south and south-eastern Mexico: a palynological approach -- 11) From Calakmul to the Sea: The Historical Ecology of a Classic Maya City that Controlled the Candelaria/Champoton Watersheds -- 12) Lidar at El Pilar: Understanding Vegetation Above and Discovering the Ground Features Below in the Maya Forest.
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.
