Abstract
⺠Multiple proxies point to a paleograminoid ecosystem in the Pleistocene Arctic. ⺠Phytoliths, macrofossils & stable isotopes allow nuanced localized interpretations. ⺠Better spatial and taxonomic resolutions are now possible than with pollen analysis. ⺠Both climate fluctuations and local disturbance by animals shaped the ecosystem. ⺠Studies of future Arctic change should be informed by paleoperspectives.
