A detailed early postglacial (Flandrian) pollen diagram from Cwm Idwal, North Wales
SUMMARY Palynological investigation of lacustrine sediments in Llyn Idwal, in the uplands of Snowdonia, North Wales, has shown that pollen assemblages predating those at the base of Godwin's (1955) pollen diagram are recorded. These earlier pollen assemblages do not, however, indicate a revisio...
