The Vegetation of the Glacial Border During the Wisconsin Maximum
The climate of the glacial boundary during the Wisconsin maximum was generally cooler and moister than at present. There is some evidence that a frost climate prevailed for some time at the glacial margin, suggesting that a tundra-like vegetation existed there. Pollen profiles indicate that a Picea-...

Pollen profiles indicate that a Picea-Abies forest existed south of the glacial margin and probably extended up to it during periods of climatic amelioration. |
