Differences between valley and upland vegetation development in eastern Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands, during the Late Glacial and early Holocene

Analysis of pollen, including the determination of pollen concentrations and of relative pollen values, macrofossil analysis of peat cores from oxbows in river valleys and of pingo melt holes on the upland, and the application of recent surface samples from northern Finland have enabled the establishment of two different lines of vegetational succession, one for the valley and another for the upland.
