Description :
Here, the AA. present the first modern pollen-rain data for tall terra firme moist evergreen Amazon forest, collected between 1999 and 2001 from artificial pollen traps in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park (NE Bolivia). Spearman's rank correlations were performed to assess the extent of spatial and inter-annual variability in the pollen rain, whilst statistically distinctive data were identified using Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Comparisons which the floristic and basal area data of the plot enabled the degree to which taxa are over/under-represented in the pollen rain to be assessed.
