Abstract
Modern pollen samples from 15 lakes along a northsouth transect on western Somerset Island NWT Canada show a decrease in pollen concentrations from the high arctic to the midarctic zone but there are few differences in the pollen percentages between these sites Longdistance transport accounts for up to 50 of the pollen in these lake sediments Cores from two lakes show few changes in the percentages of important pollen types except for an initial period before 6000 yr BP of increased Salix The pollen concentration of lake RS36 from the midarctic is twice that of lake RS29 from the high arctic and at both sites the concentrations decreased during the past 6000 yr BP This suggests a climatic deterioration during the past 6000 yr which has caused a decrease in the abundance of plants on the landscape
