Abstract

The evolution of the vegetation cover in the NW Iberian Peninsula during the Quaternary was marked by the variations in moisture and temperature which affected territories situated at medium latitudes from the beginning of the Pleistocene. These cycles brought about the extinction or the regional disappearance of part of the Tertiary flora and, as a whole, resulted in the redistribution of the vegetation in latitudinal and altitudinal belts. The principal limitation on the re-construction of the changes in different Quaternary deposits is the insufficiency of adequate de-posits in some territories and the difficulty in correlating data from areas which are geographycally distant. The information currently available for the NW Iberian Peninsula corresponds to the Holocene and the lasta glacial cycle, the Würm Pleniglacial. There is only isolated data available for earlier periods and, in general, it is necessary to drae on information from other deposits in SW Europe.
