A unique remnant of forest dating back to the period 9733–7897 yr BC and consisting of hundreds of tree bases was discovered in the Czech Republic. We aimed to reveal the complex disturbance history of this (sub)fossil forest using dendrochronology, and to describe its detailed plant species composition changes using palaeobotanical techniques. We anatomically identified woody species in 488 samples, and determined the ages, growth suppressions, releases and fire scars in 116 well preserved tree ring series using a modern boundary line approach. This image of the forest structure and dynamics was supplemented with analyses of pollen spectra and plant macrofossils in excavated profiles.
