Flora of Ice Age Europe?

Question

I'm trying to get a very in-depth idea of the ecosystem of Pleistocene Europe, somewhere around 40,000 years ago, and I can't seem to find what types of foliage (other than the obvious grasses and lichens) grew in that place and time. I'm particularly interested in the species of tree that were present; can anyone help?

Answer 1

During the inter-glacial period Betula (birch tree), Salix, Populus, Pinus, Juniperus juniper, Sorbus aucuparia rowan were some on the species found during the Pleistocene in Europe. So basically, a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees were present depending on the climate and weather.
