abstract = "In this paper three pollen diag rams from the Faroe Islands are presented; one from Saksunarvatn and two from Hovi. They cover the time from I 0.000 BP to the present. The first vegetation was a fell field vegetation. In the middle of the Preboreal, Betula nana immigrated, had a short maximum and subsequent decline due to climatic changes. From the end of the Preboreal and to the present, grasses and sedges are by far the most dominant pollen taxa. From Boreal and up to man's arrival, Juniperus and Salix phylicifolia covered large areas of the lowland. During the Atlantic and the Subboreal, Calluna became important. Besides, a tall herb vegetation persisted until the land occupation by man. One of the diagrams from Hovi shows the development from 1350 BC to the present.",
