Erosión y desertificación.-Crisis de aridez a finales del v milenio BP en el litoral occidental del puerto de mazarrón (Murcia, España) PDF

Abstract

ABSTRACT Here we describe a formerly unrecognized dry spell dated at between c. 4330 and 3950 radiocarbon years BP, and located in the Puerto de Mazarr�n (Murcia, southeastern Spain). The palaeoclimatical inference is provided by halite levels within a long sequence of a multiple core study carried in a palaeo-lagoon. The lithological inference is corroborated by palynological records involving a forest depletion. The event is also linked to a population decline in the study region
