Abstract Pollen and charcoal analyses are presented from three south‐central South Island Holocene age deposits. A spring bog site in the Idaburn Valley records small‐leaved Olearia scrub and grassland in its immediate vicinity from c. 7100 yr B.P., when peat growth began, to 5000 yr B.P. After that date the valley bottom vegetation became increasingly short and open, and the bog ceased growing, probably as a result of increasingly droughty summers. The adjacent hilly country supported a forest/scrub cover of Podocarpus hallii, Phyllocladus alpinus, Halocarpus bidwillii, and small‐leaved shrubs. A site in the Mackenzie Basin near Lake Pukaki recorded near total dominance by Phyllocladus alpinus scrub from c. 8000 yr B.P. until 5000 yr B.P. after which time Halocarpus bidwillii, Aciphylla, and grassland became increasingly important in response to drought and local fires. At a third site, again in the Mackenzie Basin, Halocarpus bidwillii formed a complete scrub cover at the time of Maori settlement at abo...
