Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A volcanic ash-layer in peat from northern Scotland has been identified and coincides exactly with an abrupt decline in Scots Pine pollen frequencies. This provides an isochrone (time-equivalent marker horizon) with which to investigate the timing of the Holocene `pine-decline'. Furthermore, two possible causes of the southward shift of the range of pinus in Scotland c 4,000BP are suggested; a direct effect of acid pollution by chemicals produced by the eruption of Hekla, or a volcanically induced climatic perturbation. These possibilities have wider implications for the influence of volcanos on postglacial environmental change. | |||||
