Short summary
Past land-cover reconstructions are essential for understanding long-term landscape changes. In this study, we present the first relative pollen productivity estimates (RPPs) for 21 plant taxa in Spain, a key parameter for reconstructing past vegetation dynamics. Our results provide a new RPP dataset for the Western Mediterranean, enabling more accurate pollen-based palaeoecological reconstructions in future studies.
