Figure 4. Macrofossil diagrams of the A) Max Gundelach site. Preservation of the plant remains are qualitatively estimated and expressed using a three-step scale: + (good), ++ (very good) and +++ (excellent); and B) Fredericksborg NE site against depth and core photograph. The complete samples were not screened for less abundant additional taxa. The main peat components of both sites are quantified using the Quadrat and Leaf Count (QLC) method. They are expressed as percentages (%) and are shown as hollow curves, with the lines indicating the depth of the samples. The complete sample was screened for additional less abundant taxa which are expressed as concentrations (number of remains per unit of volume) and shown as black bars. Rare taxa are indicated with green dots.
