The southern Levant is a laboratory for analysing climate and vegetation history based on palynology. Plant-geographical territories in this region vary due to steep precipitation gradients. The Holocene vegetation and climate history of the Levant is based on more detailed, steadily increasing palynological research. New botanical-climatological transfer functions have been applied to Golan Heights and Dead Sea pollen. Mediterranean vegetation at the Golan indicates relatively high precipitation. The Dead Sea is located at the intersection of Mediterranean, steppe and desert vegetation and its pollen proxies are sensitive to small precipitation changes.The variability in temperature and precipitation derived from the pollen are compared with lake level fluctuations of the Holocene Dead Sea. Intervals of proposed high lake stands coincide with pollen intervals indicating higher precipitation/lower temperature and vice versa This association between lake levels and pollen-derived climate patterns supports the validity of the two independent data sets.
