Abstract:
We present here the pollen analysis of two
sequences originating from two peat bogs from Harghita
Mountains. The vegetation record, which is supported by five 14C
dates, starts in the Subboreal (age) with the Carpinus optimum.
During the Subatlantic (age) the vegetation is dominated by
Fagus. Indications of human impact (especially agricultural
activities) in the region occur at the beginning of the Subboreal
(at ca. 4200 years BP).
