In the middle of the second millennium, a coppiced forest land use phase most probably attributable to the middle Bronze age interrupts the I Fagus i dominance shortly by the increase of I Corylus i and I Betula i (LPAZ 11). The pollen sum comprises 1000 counts per sample and includes all terrestrial pollen types except Cyperaceae, spores of mosses and pteridophytes. Percentage pollen diagram, selected pollen taxa, exaggeration 10 ×. Table II. [Extracted from the article]

The pollen sum (whenever possible up to 500 pollen grains) includes all terrestrial pollen types, excluded are the local wetland and aquatic elements (including I Alnus i , I Salix i , I Urtica i , Cyperaceae), spores of mosses and pteridophytes. In the upper most pollen spectra clear peaks of Cerealia pollen indicate local cultivation and processing of cereal crops. The actual soil moisture regime of the region is Udic (soil moisture is sufficient throughout the year to meet plant requirements [USDA [11]: 97]). [Extracted from the article]
