Holocene vegetation history at Vätsäri, Inari Lapland, northeastern Finland, with special reference to Betula
A Holocene sediment series from a lake in the northern birch forest region of eastern Finnish Lapland was studied pollen-analytically. In addition to conventional pollen analysis, birch pollen measurements were carried out. Betula pollen diameters were measured systematically. The resulting size-fre...
