Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The first palynological and related sedimentological studies from Papa Stour are presented, supplementing the limited data available for Holocene vegetational change in the Northern Isles. Two pollen sites were located on an isthmus which had experienced marked waterlevel changes, inundation by blown shell sand, and probable grazing and arable activity. Despite the calcareous nature of the deposits, rich suites of pollen and spore taxa were recovered, including those of taxa now absent from the islands. The assemblages indicate a strong interplay between two major habitat types (marine heath and grassland) and demonstrate the effects of intermittent pool formation. The study shows that the vegetational and geomorphological landscapes of the study area are both dynamic and closely linked. | ||||
