Abstract
The historical development of a bog woodland on the north coast of British Columbia is reconstructed using pollen analysis, peat stratigraphy, and super(14)C dating. The succession spans 8700 plus or minus 210 years. The ecosystem sequence is correlated with changes in paleoclimate reported for southwestern British Columbia and may also be associated with edaphic factors such as changing drainage patterns, the formation of cemented soil horizons, and the accumulation of thick organic surface horizons. The succession from forest to muskeg is contrasted with other evidence for sucession from muskeg to forest in north-coastal British Columbia and southeast Alaska.
