abstract = {Pollen data are well established for quantitative climate
reconstructions over long timescales, including the Holocene
and older interglacials. However, anthropogenically induced
environmental change in central Europe was strong during the
last 4 ka, challenging quantitative reconstructions of this
time period. Here we present quantitative climate
reconstructions based on pollen analyses and evaluate them
with the peat humification record and the stable carbon
isotopes of Sphagnum plant material (delta
C-13(cellulose))(.) All analyses were carried out on the
same 7.5 m long, largely ombrotrophic peat bog section from
Durres Maar. Three different methods were used for the
quantitative climate reconstructions on the basis of the
pollen data: (1) a probabilistic indicator taxa approach
(the 'pdf method'); (2) a modern analogue technique based on
pollen taxa from modern surface samples (cMAT); and (3) a
modern analogue technique expanded by plant functional types
(pMAT). At Durres Maar the peat humification is only
affected by peat cutting during the Roman period and the
Middle Ages. The stable carbon isotopes are seemingly
unaffected by human impact. Thus both proxies provide
independent data to evaluate the reconstructions on the
basis of pollen data. The quantitative climate
reconstructions on the basis of the individual methods are
in general relatively similar. Nevertheless, distinct
differences between the individual approaches are also
apparent, which could be attributed to taxa that reflect
human impact on a local to regional scale. While the pdf
method appears to be relatively robust to all observed
anthropogenically induced vegetation changes, it potentially
underestimates climate variability. This method is therefore
expected to be independent of local site characteristics and
to provide robust quantitative estimates of climatic trends
rather than of climatic variability of small amplitude. This
is of value for palaeoclimate reconstructions of older
interglacials, for which neither multiple sites nor
independent climate proxies are available for comparison.
