To provide quantitative palaeoclimate estimates based on different palaeobotanical techniques for three contemporaneous Pliocene leaf floras, we applied the Coexistence Approach (CoA), leaf margin analysis (LMA), the Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program (CLAMP) and the European Leaf Physiognomic Approach (ELPA). | Palaeoclimate estimates for selected leaf floras from the late pliocene (Reuverian) of Central Europe based on different palaeobotanical techniques
