Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1991

Summary

Peat samples were examined at intervals of 10 centimeters from Corkscrew Swamp, Florida. Pollen samples represent the entire peat sequence in the Corkscrew Swamp, but the underlying marl was not sampled. The interface between the marl and peat has been dated to approximately 5000 BP by association with nearby dated profiles. Pollen analysis focused on identification of plants and changes in the plant communities near Corkscrew Swamp through time.
