Appendix for the article (COP) "Advancing paleoclimate reconstruction of the Last Glacial Maximum in Europe using pollen data: a multi-method (mega)biomization approach" by Fénisse G, Chevalier M, Peyron O, Bekaert D.V, Blard P-H

List of Appendix
1. Site location, type of archives (a) and pollen description using taxonomic diversity parameters (b) and AP/NAP percentages (c) in 43 pollen LGM records.
2. Relationship between biome and megabiome
3. Pollen taxa observed from the fossil pollen cores
4. Percentage of arid megabiomes (STEP+DESE+TUND) at the LGM in 43 pollen sequences. Red contour points referred to the TEDE dominant megabiomes. SAVA scores are negligible.
5. Cross validation procedures between observed and predicted modern climate variables of the pollen datasets (EMPD2 dataset).
6. Standard deviation of annual temperature (a), precipitation (b), MTWA (c) and MTCO (d) anomaly results (LGM – Modern climate) using averages of biomization results from 3 different methods.​​
7. Mean annual and monthly map anomalies reconstructed using three methods based on biomization and megabiomization, compared with Davis et al. (2024).
