Abstract

The paper summarizes the current knowledge of palynological criteria which allow to reconstruct anthropogenic disturbances of plant cover in the late holocene. The case studies of modern and fossil pollen spectra of Central Forest State Reserve (Tver oblast, Russia) and forest reserve Osveisky in Belarus were discussed. Obtained results show that anthropogenic changes of plant cover could be reliable detected by general changes in composition of pollen spectra and by appearance of particular species – indicators.
