Can phytoliths provide an insight into past vegetation of the Middle Kalahari palaeolakes during the late Quaternary?

2012-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The Middle Kalahari is characterised by significant regional scale geomorphic activity and landscape change during the late Quaternary period. Very little however, is known about vegetation dynamics over this period due in part to the absence of well-preserved organic records. Here we test the application of phytolith analyses to sandy shoreline deposits of megalake Makgadikgadi, one of the sumps of the Okavango d...
