Pollen representation of vegetation in Quaternary sediments: theory and method in patchy vegetation
S Sugita - Journal of ecology, 1994 - JSTOR
1 According to the Prentice-Sugita model, pollen loading (PL) is linearly related to the
distance-weighted plant abundance (DWPA) surrounding a sedimentary basin. Since …

Pollen representation, source area, and basin size: toward a unified theory of pollen analysis
IC Prentice - Quaternary Research, 1985 - Elsevier
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 …

Pollen
KD Bennett, KJ Willis - … change using lake sediments: terrestrial, algal, and …, 2001 - Springer
Pollen grains are produced and dispersed as part of the plant reproductive process. They
are usually spherical or elliptical and in the size range 0.01 mm to 0.1 mm. The outer walls …

A model of pollen source area for an entire lake surface
S Sugita - Quaternary research, 1993 - Elsevier
A model of pollen deposition on the surface of an entire basin is developed to estimate
pollen source area, and results are compared with those for a point at the center of a basin …

Is vegetation in equilibrium with climate? How to interpret late-Quaternary pollen data
T Webb - Vegetatio, 1986 - Springer
Current methods for estimating past climatic patterns from pollen data require that the
vegetation be in dynamic equilibrium with the climate. Because climate varies continuously …
