Abstract

The Lake Volvi area, part of the region of Macedonia (northern Greece), is a biodiversity hotspot, located in the central part of a major communication corridor connecting the western and eastern parts of the Balkans. The sediment succession from Lake Volvi is investigated here to provide a unique high‐resolution pollen and geochemical record for the last 2000 years combining palaeoecological and historical methods, implementing the concept of consilience. The palaeoecological data document the environmental dynamics since the occupation of the area by the Romans. The vegetation changes reveal the development of wetland habitats and the variations of the mixed deciduous oak and thermophilous–mesophilous forests, as well as cereal cultivation, grazing and arboriculture, whose intensity varied over time. Archaeological data are available for the 1st millennium ce, but detailed historical evidence becomes accessible from the 13th century ce onwards through Byzantine and Ottoman documents. Both historical and palaeoecological data indicate that the 16th century was the period of strongest population pressure on the environment of the Volvi region. However, for other periods, it is possible to observe disagreements between the proxies. We demonstrate that these contradictions can be resolved with a more complex understanding of the region's social–ecological dynamics.
实践中的韧性:过去两千年沃尔维湖地区(希腊)的社会生态动态
沃尔维湖地区是马其顿地区(希腊北部)的一部分,位于连接巴尔干半岛西部和东部的主要交通走廊的中部,是一个生物多样性热点地区。这里对沃尔维湖的沉积物演替进行了研究,结合古生态学和历史学方法,提供了过去 2000 年独特的高分辨率花粉和地球化学记录,落实了 "一致性 "的概念。古生态学数据记录了自罗马人占领该地区以来的环境动态。植被变化揭示了湿地栖息地的发展、落叶橡树混交林和嗜热-嗜湿混交林的变化,以及谷物种植、放牧和树木栽培,其强度随时间而变化。考古数据可追溯到公元前一千年,但从公元前 13 世纪起,通过拜占庭和奥斯曼帝国的文献,就可以获得详细的历史证据。历史和古生态学数据都表明,16 世纪是沃尔维地区人口压力最大的时期。然而,在其他时期,代用指标之间可能会出现分歧。我们的研究表明,这些矛盾可以通过对该地区社会生态动态更复杂的理解来解决。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Quaternary Science publishes original papers on any field of Quaternary research, and aims to promote a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of the earth''s history during the last 2.58 million years. Papers from a wide range of disciplines appear in JQS including, for example, Archaeology, Botany, Climatology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Glaciology, Limnology, Oceanography, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Palaeontology, Soil Science and Zoology. The journal particularly welcomes papers reporting the results of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research which are of wide international interest to Quaternary scientists. Short communications and correspondence relating to views and information contained in JQS may also be considered for publication.
