Abstract:The postglacial history of vegetation at a regional scale is mainly governed by climate. However, the action of other environmental factors can lead to differentiation of the long-term vegetation dynamics in locations that are in proximity. In this context, the vegetation history of Covey Hill, at the northern tip of the Adirondack Mountains, was reconstructed using pollen analysis of a sediment core collected in a bog near the hilltop. This history was then compared with that of other sites in the Adirondacks… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
