Similarly, the Kolakham (West Bengal) sample is found multifloral, whereas both the honey samples of Alipurduar (West Bengal) are found to be unifloral. All the three Arunachal Pradesh samples are found multifloral. Absolute pollen count (APC) reveals that the unifloral winter honeys are poor in APC compared to the multifloral ones. Significant occurrence of anemophilous pollen grains in honey samples points towards theirr entrapment either during long distance flight of the bees or on the sticky hive surfaces. The nectar calendars show that winter season is the honey dearth period in the study areas of the eastern Himalaya. Finally, the diversity and richness of the pollen grains in the honey samples also reflect the bee plant diversity of the surroundings. The study may further be useful to assess the potentiality for establishing a moderate to large-scale bee-keeping industry which may provide an alternate source of livelihood to improve the socio-economic set up of the local economically backward ethnic communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54488,"journal":{"name":"Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology","volume":"332 ","pages":"Article 105210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142537202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Montcortès peak is linked to a phase of extensive hemp cultivation (1972–2006 CE) in the southeastern lowlands. The absence of a similar peak in Sant Maurici, despite the presence of other lowland pollen taxa, notably <em>Olea</em> and <em>Quercus</em>, suggests regional differences in pollen origin and dispersal likely influenced by wind patterns and rainfall. Studies on <em>Cannabis</em> pollen sources and dispersal are comparatively scarce and insufficient to provide a regional picture across the IP, similar to <em>Olea</em> or <em>Quercus</em>. However, the available data suggest that cannabis pollen is abundant mostly locally, in the vicinity of cannabis crops. The persistent presence of <em>Cannabis</em> pollen in Montcortès after 2000 CE likely reflects ongoing illegal cultivation.

The data offer insights into the past ecosystems of a current biodiversity hotspot situated at the ecotone between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. This new sequence encompasses Mediterranean and Ibero-North African sclerophylls, broad-leaf trees, conifers, and Tertiary relicts. The full-glacial abundance of mesothermophytes, particularly oaks, is among the highest recorded for the European Quaternary. Notably, the presence of ecologically significant pollen taxa, which are poorly dispersed and currently occur outside the study area, suggests that this biodiversity hotspot was more extensive in the Pleistocene. During the period of c. 40.8–36.5 ka, three <em>Artemisia</em> maxima at 40.6, 38.9, and 36.9 ka coincide with decreases in <em>Quercus</em>, indicating the spread of steppes in response to the abrupt coolings of the GS10, GS9 (HS4), and GS8 events. Similarly, increases in <em>Quercus</em> around 41, 40, and 37.2–38.3 ka parallel the GI10, GI9, and GI8 warm events. A forested period from 36.5–32 ka includes oak expansions during the GI7 and GI6 interstadials. From 32 to 19.2 ka, more xerophytic vegetation is observed, including the HS3, GS5-GS3, HS2, and GS2.1b-c cold spells, although the correlation with vegetation changes is not synchronous. As early as approximately 21 ka, <em>Artemisia</em> definitively declines, while the region was reforesting, likely due to the presence of stationary populations of broadleaf trees and conifers in the southern Baetic mountains. From approximately 12 ka onwards, the highest values of angiosperm trees are recorded, with oaks dominating throughout most of the Holocene. The pollen record and the correlation with marine records suggest a more intense hydrological regime during the first half of the Holocene, but there is also archaeobotanical evidence for human activity during the second half, resulting in a more open landscape, making it difficult to discriminate the impact of each factor. Some abrupt aridity events during the Holocene coincide with small variations in tree cover, particularly at 9.2, 8.2, 6.8, 5.5–4.8, 4.2, and 2.8 ka.
