Assemblages of plant megafossils from the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene sites in southern Europe have been re-evaluated in order to get data for reconstructing the development of vegetation and climate during this time interval (7–4 Ma). Main areas of the survey are centred in Greece and adjacent countries, Italy, southern France and Spain. As a product of this study, maps of the studied area for the Late Miocene have been produced showing main physiognomic features of the forests expressed in the proportions of broad-leaved deciduous, broad-leaved evergreen, legume-type and sclerophyllous components, respectively.
