Abstract
Pollen diagrams have been obtained from three places in Greece. The one from Limni Kopais in southern mainland Greece covers the last part of the Würm glaciation and most of the Holocene and shows that at the end of the Würm the developing oak woodland responded to a climatic oscillation, comparable with the Allerød oscillation in northwest Europe, and was later seriously reduced during Final Neolithic times. A diagram from the uppermost peats of Tenaghi Philippon shows that the area was forested until at least the time of Christ and another from Gravouna, further east, which covers the last two thousand years or so, shows the change from oak forest to the present open shiblyak vegetation of the region. Where possible, correlations have been made with pollen zones of other authors who have published diagrams from the country.
