Late Holocene environmental change in an upper montane area of the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This study examines environmental change in the upper montane zone of the Australian Eastern Highlands during the late Holocene, by analysing vegetation, fire and erosion records contained within a small fen located in a frost hollow. Differences in environmental parameters across the prehistoric-historic boundary were particularly investigated in an attempt to characterise better the changes associated with the imposition of European land-use practices.
