Millennial-scale land-use changes and their effect on a small lake in southern Sweden based on pollen and lignin phenols

In this study, a sediment sequence from Lake Skottenesjon, southern Sweden was investigated to reconstruct the effect of forestry and land-use on erosion rates and delivery of organic and minerogenic matter to the lake. Catchment-scale vegetation changes during the last 1000 years were reconstructed quantitatively using pollen analysis and the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA). Organic matter in the lake sediments was analyzed using...
