Palynological evidence for lake-level changes during the Flandrian in Scotland

Pages 13-18 | Received 19 Mar 1982, Published online: 13 Oct 2010
 

Summary

Stratigraphic, relative pollen analytical data and pollen concentration data are presented from two cores collected from a lowland infilled lake basin in the eastern Scottish Borderlands. The stratigraphic sequence between 1·30 m and 2·16 m shows an oscillation of open water and deep water sediments indicating lake-level changes. This is supported by the pollen analytical data which show a markedly changing pollen sedimentation rate and a hiatus in Flandrian II due to changing lake-levels and an overall reduction in water-level. Supporting evidence is also drawn from Din Moss, a nearby radiocarbon dated profile.
