Pollen-inferred late Holocene agricultural developments in the vicinityn of Woljeong-ri, southwestern Korea

摘要

The pollen record from Woljeong-ri in southwestern Korea reveals a vegetation history with high temporal resolution over the period from ca. 1950 BC to AD 310. The pollen profile is divided into four phases: zone 1 (ca. 1950-1220 BC), zone 2a (ca. 1220 BC-AD 200), zone 2b (ca. AD 200-290) and zone 2c (ca. AD 290-310). The abundance of Quercus (Lepidobalanus) and Carpinus, and the paucity of Artemisia, Cyperaceae and Poaceae in the initial stage suggest the dominance of deciduous broadleaved fore
