Vegetation History and Archaeobotany publishes research papers, review
articles and short contributions of high quality from Europe, the Americas
and around the world. It covers the entire field of vegetation history,
exploring the development of flora and vegetation during the Holocene (and
also the Pleistocene) era, and includes related subjects such as
palaeoecology. 

The journal places interest on human impact upon the natural environment in
prehistoric and medieval times. This is reflected in pollen diagrams as well
as in plant macroremains from archaeological contexts. Recent topics have
included vegetation, fire and climate dynamics as indicated by pollen and
charcoal analysis; preliminary results from a dendroecological study of a
sub-fossil pine woodland in NW Germany; the significance of low pollen
accumulation rates in estimation tree population, and more.
