The pollen analysis, study of vegetation history using the microfossils (pollen grain and spores of size 15-50 um), can give us useful information about the target area's condition in the present and past. ... West, R.G. Studying the Past by Pollen Analysis. Oxford University Press 1971.

It is useful to think of pollen analysis as a remote sensing instrument, which records the past and present composition of vegetation (Webb et al. ... 1978). As with any sensing instrument, pollen analysis has certain response characteristics, which limit its application to certain contexts (Prentice 1988).

This pollen key, along with an introduction to the basics of Palynology, a glossary and a list of references, was developed for the students of the Institute of Plant Sciences of the University of Berne, Switzerland as an introduction to palynology.

Pollen analysis, or more appropriatedly, Palynology, is a branch of science concerned with the study of pollen of seed plants, and spores of other embryophytic plants, whether living or fossil, including their dispersal and applications in stratigraphy and paleoecology (as defined in the Glossary of Geology).

All plants produce grains of pollen and different plant species have different characteristics and can be identified under a microscope. The outer skins of pollen grains are very resistant to decay and can be collected from buried deposits.

Pollen grains and spores form the basis of another important aspect of palaeoclimate reconstruction, generally referred to as pollen analysis, or palynology. Where pollen and spores have accumulated over time, a record of the past vegetation of an area may be preserved.

Pollen analysis, or palynology, is the study of fossil pollen (and to a lesser degree, plant spores) preserved in lake sediments, bog peat, or other matrices. ... Pollen analysis is also useful in archaeological and ecological reconstructions of the probable habitats of ancient humans and wild animals, and in determining...
