This archived Paleoclimatology Study is available from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), under the World Data Service (WDS) for Paleoclimatology. The associated NCEI study type is Plant Macrofossil. The data include parameters of plant macrofossil (population abundance) with a geographic location of Nova Scotia, Canada. The time period coverage is from 13017 to 13000 in calendar years before present (BP). See metadata information for parameter and study location details. Please cite this study when using the data.

Supplemental Information
ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Records of past vegetation and environmental change derived from plant remains large enough to be seen without a microscope (macrofossils), such as leaves, needles, and cones. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set. Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
