From the Abstract: "The use of pollen records to document vegetation responses to climatic change in mountains relies on the ability of pollen assemblages to differentiate among elevationally stratified vegetation zones. Comparisons among modern pollen assemblages within mountainous areas provide a basis for assessing this potential. We examined relationships between pollen assemblages, forest vegetation and climate at 65 small lake sites distributed across five forest zones on teh Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Sample sites spanned nearly the full range of climatic gradients on the Peninsula...."
