Abstract:		 A pollen sequence from Wether Hill, Northumberland, details changes in vegetation composition and diversity over the last c. 1500 years. Thesse are correlated with historical evidence over the last c. 800 years for a more complete understanding of the socio-economic context that governed the use of hill grazing. It is argued that changes in grazing regimes had a profound influence on these hill pastures, contributing to permanent changes in the relative abundance of heather, grasses and herbs, and causing a severe decline in habitat diversity over the last c. 200 years. It is further contended that the results have many regional paralleles, indicating extensive reductions in the biodiversity of upland habitats.
