Resum

Palaeobotanical studies are a very interesting tool for evaluating past vegetation, climatic variability and human pressure on the landscape. In this paper we offer an overview of Holocene evolution of the yew (Taxus baccata L.) in the Basque Mountains (Northern Iberian Peninsula). For this purpose, we have collected all macro- and micro-remain evidence of the presence of yew within its chronological framework. The results suggest the existence of a period of expansion of yew populations during the Middle Holocene and a regression phase in the Late Holocene.
