The local Holocene history near Tomisław (Lower Silesian Forests, Poland) in the light of pollen analysis.
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: A sedimentary core obtained from a mire ca. 2 km north-west of the village of Tomislaw, about 10 km west of the town Boleslawiec (Silesian Forests) in western Poland, was investigated by pollen analysis. The core is 1.90 m long and preserves Holocene sediments that range from the older part of the Boreal period to the older part of the Subboreal period. Absence of the younger part of the Subboreal and the entire Subatlantic periods seems to suggest the gradual disappearance of mires in this region, corresponding with the previous fi ndings of peat researchers. Peat disappearance probably resulted from drainage of the area and its subsequent use for agriculture or forestry.
