This paper examines the data obtained during a complex study of a 17 m deep peat sequence in a small glaciokarstic kettle hole mire in SE Estonia. The pollen and macrofossil analysis and the14C data were used for the spatio‐temporal reconstruction of the development of the mire, including its vegetation and microclimatic conditions during the Holocene. The comparative analysis of the data gained allows us to estimate the relative influence of various local, extra‐local, and regional natural processes on the dynamics of the ecosyst
