Figure 1
.  Pollen percentage diagram of selected taxa from Carp Lake cores 90 and 93.  Pinus includes diploxylon-type (open curve) from P. contorta or P. ponderosa, haploxylon-type pollen (black curve) from P. monticola or P. albicaulis, an indeterminate Pinus pollen (shaded curve).  A minimum of 350 terrestrial pollen grains was counted for each level and used as the pollen sum in calculating percentages.

Figure 2
.  Large-scale controls (July insolation anomalies at latitude 45 degrees North and global ice volume) and Carp Lake vegetation indices.  The ratios of the sum of Pseudotsuga/Larix, Quercus and Cupressaceae pollen percentages to Picea pollen percentages (Pse + Que + Cup/Pic) and of total arboreal to total non-arboreal pollen (AP/NAP) provide an indicator of vegetation type and openness.  The smoothed curves were drawn using a 'lowess' procedure.
