Glacial and interglacial stages
Only a few examples of arboreal plants are discussed in this book and even less attention is brought to herbaceous species. Refining the existing substantial gaps will need further research efforts, for example with regard to taxonomic resolution of herbaceous species that may come with new techniques, such as aDNA approaches. Nevertheless, our overviews in chapters 2, 3 and 4 already show an extremely varied picture of the spread of floristic elements during the Holocene and also during other interglacials. In the end, each plant species has its own history, including the herb flora. It is also clear that similar ranges of the species today do not mean similar range histories (Lang, 1971). Roughly, with regard to the glacial–interglacial cycles, the conditions that controlled the occurrence of plant species over such long periods can be divided into five groups; Birks and Tinner, 2016).
