Abstract
Changes in agricultural land-use patterns was studied with canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The data sets consisted of sediment quality variables and pollen analysis data of two varved lake sediments in East Finland. The strong correlations between the sediment variables and pollen taxa reflect the simultaneous reactions to land-use changes of both vegetation and sediment quality; reactions which are reflected more drastically in the sediment quality of small Heinälampi than the larger Lake Suurjärvi.
