Vegetation History and Archaeobotany publishes research papers, review articles and short contributions of high quality from Europe, the Americas and around the world. It covers the entire field of vegetation history, exploring the development of flora and vegetation during the Holocene (and also the Pleistocene) era, and includes related subjects such as palaeoecology. The journal places interest on human impact upon the natural environment in prehistoric and medieval times. This is reflected in pollen diagrams as well as in plant macroremains from archaeological contexts. Recent topics have included vegetation, fire and climate dynamics as indicated by pollen and charcoal analysis; preliminary results from a dendroecological study of a sub-fossil pine woodland in NW Germany; the significance of low pollen accumulation rates in estimation tree population, and more.

植物歷史和古植物學(xué)出版研究論文，評(píng)論文章和短的高質(zhì)量的貢獻(xiàn)，從歐洲，美洲和世界各地。它涵蓋了整個(gè)植被歷史領(lǐng)域，探索了全新世(也包括更新世)時(shí)期植物區(qū)系和植被的發(fā)展，包括古生態(tài)學(xué)等相關(guān)學(xué)科。該雜志關(guān)注史前和中世紀(jì)人類對(duì)自然環(huán)境的影響。這反映在花粉圖以及考古學(xué)背景下的植物大遺骸中。最近的主題包括植物、火和氣候動(dòng)態(tài)，如花粉和木炭分析所示;德國(guó)西北部一亞化石松林的樹(shù)木生態(tài)學(xué)研究初探花粉積累率低在估計(jì)喬木種群中的意義更大。
