Loss-on-ignition (LOI) and pollen and spore analyses were performed at 2-cm intervals on this core. For each level, 2 cm3 of sediment was processed following the procedures of Faegri and Iversen (1989) and Lavoie (2001) (i.e., chemical treatments using 10% KOH, HCl, and HF, and acetolysis).

Pollen and spore identification fo...
