The latter includes the rapid replacement of cold-tolerant species occurring in an open tundra environment by temperate-boreal species, adapted to the forested environment of the Early and Middle Holocene. However, global warming was repeatedly interrupted by short but abrupt cooling events, the impact of which on both ecosystems and humans remains largely unexplored.
