Description :
A late-glacial to early Holocene record of pollen, plant macrofossils, and charcoal has been obtained from 2 cores from browns Pond in the central Appalachians of Virginia. An AMS radiocarbon chronology defines the timing of moist and cold excursions, superimposed on the overall warming trend from 14,200 to 7500 C 14 yr B.P. These data have produced a detailed record of late-glacial to early Holocene vegetation change at this site.
