Fiekers Busch is a wet alder wood close to Rinteln (southwest of Hannover/West Germany) existing there since about 6 000 or - at the most - 7 500 radiocarbon years. The sandy layers below the peaty sequence date from about 9 000 BP. The pollen diagram shows the basic trends of the postglacial vegetational development. Low pollen frequency and poor pollen preservation do , however, strongly restrict the possibilities to explain the peculiarities of the pollendiagram, especially the high pine and linden values.
