AbstractThe vegetation history of the area around the confluence of the rivers Meuse and Swalm (the Netherlands) during the Middle Ages is covered by two pollen diagrams. The diagram Swalmen reveals a large-scale deforestation as a result of the foundation of a nobleman's homestead around 950. The diagram Syperhof shows a period during which the forest partly returns after a long history of unremitting anthropogenic stress. This temporary phenomenon is ascribed to the onslaught of the Black Death in 1349. Both diagrams provide evidence of the start of buckwheat growing.

Lake Markermeer is a large fresh water lake in the centre of the Netherlands. Since Lake Markermeer is categorised as a shallow lake, it is very susceptible for sediment resuspension. The general objective of this study is to investigate sediment and nutrient dynamics in Lake Markermeer sediments. This research was carried out in a 5 months period from November 2007 until March 2008 using sediment trap methods. Sampling sites for sediment traps are located at the two fixed sites in which each sampling site had duplicates bottom and half-depth traps. The collection of the sediment traps samples was conducted every two weeks. The parameter measured in sediment traps were: sediment trap yields, Loss on ignition (LOI), total N and total P. Statistical t test analysis was utilised to compare the value of each parameter between two sampling stations as well as between bottom and half depth at the same stations.The results for the sediment trap activities showed that at the two fixed sampling stations, the sediment trap yields in the bottom part tend to be higher than half depth. This difference between bottom and half-way traps is statistically significant. Also, a significant difference was found between STA and STB, both for bottom and half-depth traps. A similar result was found for LOI. For total N and P  the results showed that there were no significant differences between bottom and half-depth at the two fixed sampling stations.   Keywords: Lake Markermeer, resuspension, sediment trap

Abstract. The Weichselian Late Glacial (ca. 13,000 - 10,000 years BP) marks the transition from the cold Weichsel Late Pleniglacial to the warmer Holocene. During this period the climate rapidly changed as did the vegetation and the abiotic landscape. The vegetational development of the Weichselian Late Glacial in The Netherlands is determined firstly by the large-scale changes in climate and in the second place by local variations in lithology, geomorphology and hydrology. Pollen diagrams from different areas, embracing the same time-stratigraphical interval, often show clear variations in vegetation history, which can not be explained on climatological grounds alone. In The Netherlands over 400 palynological sections, covering a part or the whole of the Weichselian Late Glacial, have been investigated by several institutes. For the compilation of the data from over 250 pollen diagrams, use was made of the European Pollen Database structure. Dated shifts in the arboreal pollen content constitute the basis of a regional zonation scheme. With the help of this, iso-pollen maps of main taxa were constructed for different time-windows within the Weichselian Late Glacial. The dense network of palynological observation sites in The Netherlands permitted the drafting of high-resolution iso-pollen maps of the period considered. A clear relationship can be recognized between the iso-pollen patterns and the landscape type. Thus, it should be possible to distinguish more clearly between climate and other abiotic agencies of the environment which affected vegetational development.
