AUTHOR QUERIES Q1 Please spell out “AMS 14 C” on first mention in the abstract. Q2 Please spell out “PVC” on first mention. Q3 Please edit the figure numbering and/or the in-text mentions so that Figure 2 comes before Figure 3. Q4 Please spell out “AMS 14 C” on first mention in the main text. Q5 The text “At the end of the Subboreal around 3000 cal yr BP Fagus finally began to replace Picea in rela- tively short time” has been changed to “At the end of the Subboreal, around 3000 cal yr BP, Fagus finally began to replace Picea, and did so in a relatively short time”. Please check the change conveys the intended meaning, or amend. Q6 The text “The frequencies of Betula and Carpinus as seen in the T aul Negru diagram reflect the gradual reorganisation respectively the destruction of the natural forests in the lower forest belts” has been changed to “The frequencies of Betula and Carpinus as seen in the T aul Negru diagram reflect the gradual reorgan- isation and the destruction, respectively, of the natural forests in the lower forest belts”. Please check the change conveys the intended meaning, or amend. Q7 The sense of the text “Primary pollen signals attributed to farming activities are cereal-type pollen, but also pollen of secondary anthropogenic indicators” is not clear. It seems to be stating that the same pollen is both a primary indicator of farming and a secondary indicator of anthropogenic activity. Is this the intended meaning? Please check that it reads correctly or supply a revision. Q8 Figure 3: The sense of the text “The red line indicates total charcoal percentages; the black line shows char- coal particles > 37 lm” is not clear, as there are many black lines in the figure, and no red line. Furthermore, there is a blue line that is not explained. Please edit the caption text, as well as the discussion of Figure 3 in the text, to clarify these things. Q9 Table 2: Please spell out “AMS 14 C” on first mention. Q10 Please check affiliations have been typeset correctly and correct if inaccurate. Q11 Please provide expansion of journal title for the reference “Metzner-Nebelsick et al., 2010”.
