Description :
The Holocene palaeogeography of Paanajärvi National Park was studied by geobotanical, palaeobotanical, palynological, radiocarbon methods, and certain classes of organisms such as Algae, Fungi, Rhizopoda, Rotatoria. To increase the reliability of the reconsructions, sub-recent spectra for all the major types of habitats used to obtain habitat-vegetation relation coefficients were analysed. The evolutionary stages of the forest and mire vegetation are correlated with changes in hydrological regime and climate. It is shown that the former lake regime can be reconstructed by analysing the composition of the algae and other organisms.
