Table 4: Macrofossil plant remains and other components of the samples from the block. Figures are semi-quantitative abundance scores from 1 (present, rare) to 4 (abundant or a major component of the sample). Taxa are grouped by broad habitat categories, but within those groups are alphabetical. Unless otherwise indicated, remains were fruits or seeds and unless indicated all remains were preserved by anoxic waterlogging.

Key to abbreviations: b - buds; b/bs - buds and/or bud-scales; cat - catkin; ch - charred (coloured as grey); cs - catkin scales; fcs - female cone scales; fgts - fragments; fr - fruits; imm - immature; lf - leaf; lfless - leafless; mc - male catkin; rh - rhizome; tw - twig.
