The pollen-analytical study of eight sites (two glacial lakes and six coastal marshes) has been carried out (nine pollen diagrams, 472 pollen spectra). The total absence of Quercus ilex forest in Corsica during the Atlantic and the vegetation contrast existing at that time between the western and the eastern sides of the island are demonstrated. On the western site, Erica arborea constituted the only regional vegetation from the coast up to about 1500 m. Human action is responsible for the establishment of Quercus ilex in this climax vegetation during the Sub-boreal. It is also shown that the only Pinus halepensis forest present today in Corsica has been introduced on the island during the nineteenth century.
对八个地点（两个冰川湖和六个沿海沼泽）进行了花粉分析研究（九个花粉图谱，472个花粉光谱）。研究表明，在大西洋期，科西嘉岛完全没有冬青栎森林，且当时该岛东西两侧存在植被差异。在西侧地点，从海岸到约1500米的高度，树状欧石南是唯一的区域植被。人类活动导致在亚北方期这种顶级植被中出现了冬青栎。研究还表明，科西嘉岛现今仅有的阿勒颇松森林是在19世纪引入该岛的。
