Modern pollen spectra from lake sediments in Finland and Finnmark, north Norway

Absolute (APF) and relative surface pollen spectra from 67 moderate‐sized lakes in Finland and Finnmark are presented as pollen diagrams and isopoll maps and analysed by multidimensional scaling. The results are applicable to problems of regional vegetational history through comparisons of pollen sp...
