Abstract

During the Interglacial, a very dry phase was found in Central Syria with chenopods and Acacia. On the Lebanese coasts, vegetation included Poterium spinosum, Theligonum cynocrambe and Compositae. During humid times, the mountain forest developed with Cedrus, Abies, Pinus, Ulmus, Fraxinus, Juglans, Carpinus-Ostrya and mountain oaks. Only in N Lebanon, very rare Betula and Corylus pollen can be seen. Tilia tomentosa and Pterocarya, reached S. Lebanon at that time. During the Late-Glacial great dryness is suggested and, in spite of an increase of humidity at the beginning of Holocene, the deleterious effect of human occupation is seen.-from English summary
