Aim To characterize the changing fire regime of a M editerranean landscape during the H olocene and the L ast I nterglacial and, by comparing the two periods, to improve our understanding of the extent and timing of human alteration of natural fire regimes. Location Lake Ioannina, north‐western G reece (39°45′ N, 20°51′ E). Methods Using a long sequence of lake sediments, we measured the charcoal content of the sediment over t...

The vegetational history of the penultimate glacial period, Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 ( c . 185–135 ka), has remained relatively unexplored. Here we present a new record from the Ioannina basin, north‐west Greece, which constitutes the highest‐resolution terrestrial pollen record for this interval produced to date. It shows that the vegetation history of MIS 6 in this region can be divided into two parts: an early period (1...
