Quaternary pollen analysis : recent progress in palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology
Bibliography ; Climate reconstruction ; Methodology ; Model ; Palaeo-ecology ; Palaeoclimatology ; Palynology ; Pollen analysis ; Quaternary
During the last decade Quaternary pollen analysis has developed towards improved pollen-taxonomical precision, automated pollen identification and more rigorous definition of pollen assemblages zones. There have been significant efforts to model
the spatial representation of pollen records in terms of past vegetation patterns. The AA. review the difficulties in matching modelled post-glacial plant migration patterns with pollen-based palaeorecords and discuss the potential of DNA analysis of pollen

Prospects for Quaternary pollen research in China.

Prospects for Quaternary pollen research in China.
Development in pollen research is needed in three directions. Firstly, mastery of vegetational knowledge, identification of regularities of pollen dispersal in various geographical conditions| secondly, improvement in techniques of pollen analysis
, using the absolute pollen concept to rationalise zonation work, and in numerical techniques| thirdly, in application recognise the benefit of infiltration and coordination with related sciences. (TNC).

Pollen representation, source area, and basin size: toward a unified theory of pollen analysis

Pollen representation, source area, and basin size: toward a unified theory of pollen analysis
The concepts of pollen source area and of production and dispersal biases in pollen representation are quantified by means of a simple theoretical model. Source areas and relative pollen representation are shown to depend on basin size according
to functions that describe the amount of pollen remaining airborne at increasing distances from single pollen sources. The integrated form of Sutton's equation for particle dispersal from a ground-level source gives usefull approximations applicable to pollen

The use of micromorphology in soil pollen analysis. The interpretation of the pollen content of slope deposits in Galicia, Spain

The use of micromorphology in soil pollen analysis. The interpretation of the pollen content of slope deposits in Galicia, Spain
Galicia ; Holocene ; Infiltration ; Lateglacial ; Micromorphology ; Palaeo-ecology ; Palaeo-environment ; Palynology ; Pollen diagram ; Quaternary ; Slope deposit ; Soil ; Spain
Comparison of the sequence of pollen associations of soil profiles with pollen zones of reference diagrams offers palyno-ecological information, relevant for reconstruction of landscape ecological development. Interpretation of soil pollen
associations requires knowledge of the processes of infiltration and conservation of pollen grains in the soil material. Micromorphology is an important technique to investigate these processes. This is demonstrated in a case study of polycyclic slope deposits

The article deals with the doline, the Holocene, the pollen analysis and the Schneeferner glacier of the Zugspitzplatt. The paper describes the pollen analysis in high mountains, the closer pollen collection area, the pollen conversation, the other
pollen spectra, the advisement to dating of the pollen and vegetation history and the humus colluviums in the doling. This is a contribution for discussion of the post-glacial active glacier in Wettersteingebirge. - (IfL)

Paläobotanische Archive : Jungquartäre und holozäne Klimaentwicklung in chinesischen Trockengebieten

Arid area ; Botany ; China ; Climate ; Palaeo-environment ; Pollen analysis ; Sedimentary ; Vegetation
Pollen analysis as a technique for reconstructing former vegetation by means of fossil pollen grains preserved in the sediments was ´born´ in 1916, when Swedish geologist Lennart von Post (1884-1951) presented the first percentage pollen diagram
at the meeting of the Swedish Geological Society, held in Kristiana (now Oslo). A combination of the following unique features makes pollen analysis such a useful tool for palaeoenvironmental studies: (a) plants produce pollen in great quantities; (b) pollen
grains are easily dispersed by wind, water or insects and occur in almost all types of sediments on all continents except Antarctica; (c) the outer coat of pollen grain build of the biopolymer sporopollenin is extremely resistant to mechanical
and chemical agents and well preserved even in very old sediments; (d) a great quantity of pollen grains representing past vegetation which grew around the sampling site can be easily recovered from fossil sediments; (e) most of the pollen grains recovered from
Quaternary deposits can be identified to the species, family level and the resulting pollen assemblage allows statistical treatment. - (IfL)

Late Holocene climatic changes in western equatorial Africa inferred from pollen from Lake Sinnda, southern Congo

Late Holocene climatic changes in western equatorial Africa inferred from pollen from Lake Sinnda, southern Congo
Aridity ; C 14 dating ; Climatic variation ; Congo ; Holocene ; Lacustrine sediment ; Palaeoclimate ; Palynology ; Pollen diagram
Pollen analysis of 2 cores from the Lake Sinnda, located in one of the driest areas of the southern Congo, reveals a history of vegetation and climate in this region during the past 5000 yr. A major change centered around 3000-2500 yr B.P
. is indicated by an abrupt decrease in forest pollen and by a corresponding increase in grassland pollen. Concurrent drying up of the lake shows that climate, in particular aridity, was the major cause of this change. The aridity predates agriculture marked
by pollen of the oil palm at Lake Sinnda.

A Late Wisconsin and Holocene vegetation history from the central Brook Range: implications for Alaskan palaeoecology

New insights into the vegetation history of this region are provided by calculations of pollen influx and by the use of linear discriminant analysis to separate Picea glauca and P. mariana pollen. Three major pollen zones are identified: (1) a basal
herb zone, characterized by high percentages of Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Salix, and Artemisia, and low total pollen influx| (2) a shrub Betula zone with increased total pollen influx and very high percentages of Betula pollen, predominantly in the size
range of B. nana and B. glandulosa| and (3) an Alnus zone dominated by Alnus pollen.

Numerical analysis of modern and fossil pollen data from the Tibetan plateau

This study applies a number of multivariate numerical techniques in the analysis of modern and fossil pollen data for the purpose of paleovegetational reconstruction in the Tibetan Plateau. Modern pollen spectra from 227 sampling sites
in the Tibetan Plateau were classified into groups using cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis. By comparing the quantitatively derived groups with local vegetation types at sampling locations, the modern pollen spectra were assigned into 5 major
vegetation types : shrubland, forest, meadow, steppe, and desert. These were used as a priori groups for discriminant analysis. The discriminant functions were then applied to a fossil pollen record from Yidun Glacial Lake near the Sichuan-Tibet border
to reconstruct the major pattern of vegetational changes since the last glacial maximum. The results demonstrate that discriminant analysis is a useful technique for reliable reconstruction of paleovegetation in the Tibetan Plateau.

Pollen analysis of a 752-cm core from Mono Lake, California, indicates generally high lake levels 11,600-7000 C 14 yr B.P., moderate lake levels until ca. 4000 C 14 yr B.P., and fluctuating levels to the present. Drying events, with lake levels near
or below the historic minimum are dated ca. 8800, 4000, 2400, and 1100 C 14 yr B.P.. Chronologic control is provided by 6 radiocarbon dates and 6 volcanic ashes. The pollen-based reconstructions of climate are generally cooler and wetter than today

Pollen analysis of a late Pliocene and early Pleistocene section from the Gubik Formation of Arctic Alaska

Pollen analysis of a late Pliocene and early Pleistocene section from the Gubik Formation of Arctic Alaska
A 14-m-thick section of marine and fluviatile sediments, exposed in bluff near Ocean Point on the Colville River, has been studied by means of pollen analysis. Pollen from the marine sediments, of probable late Pliocene age, suggests an environment
similar to that of present-day. Pollen floras from the overlying fluvial strata, of early or middle Pleistocene age, record predominantly herbaceous taxa indicating tundra conditions probably more severe than those of the present day. These deposits were
