Holocene acidification process recorded in three pollen profiles from Czech sandstone and river terrace environments

Abstract

Pollen analysis in three profiles shows acidification process of ecosystems during the holocene. Late Quaternary climatic changes had dramatic eff ect on the terrestrial biosphere.

In temperate mid-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere, vegetation belts migrated over several thousands of kilometers.
