Abstract
The paper presents the results of pollen analyses of samples collected from two peat localities in the Orlicke hory mountains in Czechoslovakia. Appended pollen diagrams depict the vegetation and its changes in the Older and Younger Subatlantic period. The paper suggests the probable proportional representation of the principal woody plants in the area and, on the basis of pollen analyses, reconstructs the forest covers of the Orlicke hory, especially of their upper regions. The author has foundFagus to have predominated among woody plants in the area (even in the upper regions) in the Older Subatlantic. From the 16th or 17th century onward it was gradually replaced byPicea. This change was primarily due to human activity (cutting down of the beeches).
