abstract = {Abstract: A 80 cm thick limnic-telmatic sediment sequence from a brick pit close to the Jerichow monastery has been investigated by pollen analysis. According to a radiocarbon date from the lowermost mud layer the last 550 years are covered. The spontaneous colonization of the groundwater filled pond starts by an eutrophic natant vegetation, coming from diaspore transport by water birds of the nearby Elbe flood plain biotopes. Four autogenic succession stages follow up to a moderate polytrophic reed vegetation with different water table changes and increasing tree growth on the ponds margin. Inundated alder woodland and alder-ash-oak stands in the adjacent hollows characterize a subsequent vegetation development. The importance of Stratiotes aloides in the initial pond colonization is stressed out. The brick pit formation in correspondence to the medieval construction of the monastery and the adjacent Elbe dykes is discussed.},
