The largest desert on Earth, the Sahara, was much greener than today during the early and mid-Holocene (about 11000-6000 years before present). Interpretation of palaeoclimatic reconstruction by using climate system models indicate that this greening was triggered by changes in insolation due to periodic variations in the Earth orbit, and it was likely to be amplified by feedbacks between atmosphere. vegetation and ocean. Theoretical studies suggest that the expansion of Sahara at the end of the mid-Holocene could have been abrupt. either in the form of a single transition or in the form of multiple switches between wet and dry phases. Palaeoclimatic evidence is ambiguous. Some records of the eastern Sahara do not reveal abrupt transitions, ...
