L'amélioration climatique générale [...] qui marque le début de l'Holocène entraîne, au cours de la période préboréale (10000 - 9000 BP [avant le présent]), le développement de vastes forêts de pin, qui seront peu à peu remplacées, à partir du Boréal (9000 BP - 8000 BP), par des formations à noisetiers.
