Past episodes of birch hybridization in Iceland were studied by pollen analysis. The low stature and polycormic form of downy birch Betula pubescens in the subarctic probably results from such hybridization with the dwarf birch Betula nana. Two previous studies in different regions in Iceland revealed events of hybridization connected to early B. pubescens expansion. The present study examined a peat monolith from Thistilfjördur, North-east Iceland, covering the last ten thousand years. Betula pollen was measured, proportions of B. nana and B. pubescens calculated and the presence of hybrids estimated. Betula pubescens expansion started around 7.2 cal ka BP with a peak in non-triporate pollen, indicating hybrids. Low Betula pollen concentra...
