Abstract
Comprehensive knowledge of climate and landscape dynamics is essential to obtain a basic understanding of the recent geoecological situation and to assess possible future developments. High mountains and their ecosystems offer an outstanding opportunity for studies on the impact of climate change. The Pirin Mountains in Southeast Europe, situated at the transition between temperate and Mediterranean climate, are considered very sensitive to historical and current global changes. To evaluate the current situation, the existing climate proxy data sets need to be amended by precisely dated and highly time-resolved geoarchives spanning past centuries. Thus, the examination aims to reconstruct climate variability on different time scales, allowing us to improve the regional and sub-regional knowledge of facts and ecosystem services due to trends of global climate change.
