Reading Test 14
SECTION 1 
The History of Woodlands in Britain 
 
A.
The climate in Britain has been arctic for the last several million years, punctuated by 
relatively warm timespans, or interglacial of thousands of years, one of which we are in 
as of now. Since the last glaciation, British woodland history is considered quite short in 
terms of geological time spans, and is also closely related to the human civilization 
developing. 
B.
At the peak of the last glaciation (100,000 
– 12,000 BC), the majority of Britain would 
have had no trees. Birch and willow scrub may have grown along the lower reaches of 
the ice, with pine in some areas. It’s possible that remnants of pre-glacial flora were 
sheltered along the western bays of Great Britain and Ireland’s coasts, but as far as the 
southern parts of England, the ice kept any land barren. Information regarding the 
development of Britain’s flora following glaciation can be found by studying the deposits 
of pollen and seed in peat, as well as by the use of radiocarbon dating. Tundra and 
moorland followed the retreating ice, which lead to phases of different tree species 
spreading from the south. First came birch, aspen and sallow, followed by pine and hazel 
continuing to spread north as of 8500 BC, replacing birch to make it less commonly found 
for the next few thousand years. Oak and alder came after pine, then lime, elm, beech, 
and maple, all spreading northwards one after the other. From the moment lime arrived
in about 7300, to about 4500 BC the climate remained stable for a length of time known 
as the Atlantic Period, a time in which numerous species grew to form a series of 
wildwood or wilderness types. 
C.
What did the wilderness or wildwood look like, before man started interfering with it? One 
theory holds that Britain and Western Europe in Palaeolithic times was covered from 
coast to coast in a wildwood of continuous trees. However, a modern theory proposed 
by Francis Vera holds that Western Europe wilderness was a combination of grassland, 
scrub, and clusters or groves of trees. It was not a dense, impassable wildwood, but 
instead, an area similar to a park, kept up by wild herbivores eating the plants and grass. 
Throughout earlier interglacial periods, this may also have been the case in Britain, as
