Regionally uneven land-cover and palaeodemographic change in eastern Iberia
Palaeodemographic and land-cover proxies vary across eastern Iberian regions rather than producing one synchronized rise or collapse signal.
What is the evidence?

Specialist reviewer: not recorded. Review date: not recorded.
Dataset workflow: proposed. This is separate from specialist review.
Confidence describes the stated assessment; it does not certify expert approval. How review works.

Interpretation and caveats
The result supports region-specific environmental and settlement histories and cautions against a peninsula-wide climate-collapse narrative.
Event context
Classification
Event type: regional land cover change

Timeline role: regional core
People and places
Locations: Southeast Iberia and post-Argaric interaction frame, Iberian Mediterranean coast interaction frame, Ebro basin and northeast Iberian interaction frame
Why it matters to the timeline
