Pollen-based quantitative vegetation reconstructions using multiple sedimentary basins from the same area, along with their quantified relevant pollen source areas, are a powerful means to study how long-term human impact has affected vegetation and shaped the currently protected heritage landscapes at different spatial scales. Our study presents the outcome of a palynological investigation in Karula Upland, south Estonia, for the last 6500 years. Centennial-resolution pollen records from one large (175 ha) and three small (5 ha) lakes, and one small bog (0.1 ha) were used to reconstruct the vegetation at different spatial scales using the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm. The results are discussed in combination with archaeological sites and historical knowledge.

爱沙尼亚南部卡鲁拉高地基于花粉的人为土地覆盖变化的多尺度重建

使用同一地区的多个沉积盆地及其量化的相关花粉源区进行基于花粉的定量植被重建，是研究长期人类影响如何影响植被并在不同空间尺度上塑造当前受保护的遗产景观的有力手段。我们的研究展示了过去 6500 年来爱沙尼亚南部卡鲁拉高地的孢粉学调查结果。来自一个大湖（175 公顷）和三个小湖（5 公顷）以及一个小沼泽（0.1 公顷）的百年分辨率花粉记录被用来利用景观重建算法重建不同空间尺度的植被。结合考古遗址和历史知识对结果进行讨论。
