Under de senaste 100-200 åren har tall (Pinus sylvestris) etablerats på många sydsvenska mos- sar. Eftersom tall trivs i relativt torra och näringsrika miljöer, ger detta en indikation på att grundvattennivån i mos- sarna har sänkts. Tre mossar i Kronobergs län, Småland, har valts ut för en dendrokronologisk och torvstratigrafisk undersökning för att se om det finns ytnära torvlager som vittnar omScots pine (Pinus sylvestris) can be found growing in many raised bogs in Småland, south Sweden, and these trees have been established during the last 100-200 years. Because pine prefers a relatively dry environment rich in nutrients, its presence indicates a lowering of the groundwater table. Three bogs in south Sweden were in- vestigated with dendrochronologic and peat stratigraphic methods to d
