A new study is published in Science Advances, titled: “Substantial light woodland and open vegetation characterized the temperate forest biome before Homo sapiens”.  In a study I initiated up in Småland during one of my SGU projects, published in 2013, we discussed vegetation composition during the previous interglacial, the Eemian (129,000–116,000 years ago). Some of the pollen data from that stu
