La dinámica de la vegetación en el piso colino y en la zona litoral cantábrica ha sido poco explorada. En este estudio se analiza un testigo sedimentario de 66 cm extraído en el lago litoral Pozo Tremeo con el objetivo de esclarecer la historia vegetal de esta zona. Para conseguirlo se muestrearon los macrofósiles del testigo con una alta resolución temporal (33 muestras). Para establecer la cronología, se dataron cuatro muestras de macrofósiles por 14C, se cuenta además con trece dataciones por 210Pb. La secuencia estudiada comprende desde el año 1820 hasta el 2021 d.C, por lo que es muy detallada. Por otra parte, los macrofósiles se han identificado en muchos casos a nivel de especie, lo que proporciona una gran precisión taxonómica. Asimismo, para contextualizar los datos, se cuenta con una secuencia polínica muy completa que ha permitido reconstruir la sucesión de la vegetación contigua al lago. Al inicio de la secuencia están extendidos los robledales con avellano, así como los brezales. Progresivamente, se da un retroceso de los robledales y brezales en favor de los pastizales y los cultivos de cereal, hasta que, finalmente, los brezales acaban por desaparecer con el auge de los cultivos cerealísticos. Una vez cesan los cultivos, los robledales y brezales recuperan parte de su extensión, siendo esa la tendencia actual debido al abandono agrario. Las plantaciones de eucaliptos y pinos de Monterrey con fines productivos son el principal factor de pérdida de los robledales nativos. Son especies alóctonas aún muy presentes actualmente.
Vegetation dynamics on th e lowlands of the Cantabrian region including the coast have been little explored. In this study, a 66 cm sediment core extracted from the Pozo Tremeo coastal lake , was analysed with the aim of clarifying the vegetation history of this area. To achieve this, I produced a high resolution macrofossil record 33 samples) To set the chronology, I selected four plant macrofossil samples to be 14 C dated using AMS, which were added to the thirteen 210 Pb dates a lready available . The robust and detailed age depth model shows that the sediment record spans from 1820 to 2021 CE. In many cases , macrofossils have been identified to species level, which provides a high taxonomic precision. In order t o contextualise the data, a very complete pollen sequence is available, which has made it possible to reconstruct the succession of the vegetation around the lake. At the beginning of the sequence, oak groves with hazel and heathland are widespread. Graduall y, the oak and heathland gradually receded in favour of grassland and cereal fields until the heathland finally disappeared with the rise of cereal fields . Once the cereal cultivation cease, the oak woods and heathland regain some of their extent, and this is the current trend due to agr arian abandonment. The native oak forests have lost much of their extent to eucalypt s and Monterey pine timber plantations, which are still very widespread today.
