Abstract

Based on recent Pollen-analytical investigations of the Early and Late Quaternary deposits in the Kashmir Valley, the various aspects discussed include the background information regarding vegetation, the nature of the peat deposits, the present and past pollen rain, the parallelism in the course of vegetational development during the Late and Early Quaternary, the correlation of Postglacial pollen diagrams, the past altitudinal shifts in the vegetational belts, and the role of the climate vs biotic factor upon vegetational development.
