Abstract
Pollen-vegetation relationships were analysed from moss polster sample s along two transects through the major vegetation types of the Cerin peat bog and surroundings. Vegetation types are presented on a map and by phytosociological analysis. While the pollen frequencies and their relationships to vegetation type of some taxa are similar to those fo und elsewhere, Betula, Acer and Quercus are distinctively low in their representation, and Carpinus is significantly under-represented. Only those non-arboreal vegetation types with high frequencies of grasses were detectable in the pollen spectra.
