ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the extent of vegetation change during the Pleistocene Period, a study of three high elevation southern Appalachian bogs was undertaken. Three North Carolina sites were chosen that were suitable for pollen and paieoecological analysis: Flat Laurel Gap bog near Pisgah Mountain south of Asheville (elevation 1500 m), Boone Fork bog near Blowing Rock (elevation 1024 m), and Long Hope Valley bog north of Boone (elevation 1450 m).
