Palynological and paleoclimatic study of the late Quaternary displacements of the boreal forest-tundra ecotone in Keewatin and Mackenzie, N.W.T., Canada

"While neither of these calibrations seems to reconstruct reasonable range of temperatures for the Holocene – both calibrations reconstruct a range of temperatures for the Holocene that exceeds 6°C – the shifts in temperature we reconstruct are broadly consistent with changes in glacial ice extent documented throughout south-central Alaska (Figure 6). This consistency suggests that the MBT/CBT temperature estimates, although incorrect in overall magnitude, may change in a manner consistent with Holocene temperature change."

authors reconstruct temperature using two calibrations, and display and interpret both records equally in this paper. Neither reconstruction accurately representes the magnidute of temprature change.  For this database, we set "units" = "relative T" to encode the limitations described by the original authors.
