Investigations of pollen production, modern pollen-vegetation relationships and pollen‐stratigraphic changes have been undertaken from three woodlands under coppice management to establish the impact that woodland management techniques (the periodic...

It has often been assumed that the islands of Orkney were essentially treeless throughout much of the Holocene, with any ‘scrub’ woodland having been destroyed by Neolithic farming communities by around 3500 cal. BC. This apparently open, hyper-ocean... Read More about Neolithic settlement at the woodland's edge: palynological data and timber architecture in Orkney, Scotland.
