Pollen monitoring has become a standard investigation method for researchers in several
disciplines; among them are Quaternary palynologists, who conduct experiments in order to …

This paper examines fourteen fossil pollen datasets from Romania. It aims to investigate the
temporal and spatial variability in the range distribution and abundance of three forest taxa …

The Eurasian (née European) Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) was established in 2013 to
provide a public database of high-quality modern pollen surface samples to help support …

We review the history of Quaternary pollen analysis from 1916 to the present-day, with
particular emphasis on methodological and conceptual developments and on the early …

Modern pollen samples provide an invaluable research tool for helping to interpret the
quaternary fossil pollen record, allowing investigation of the relationship between pollen as …

Palaeobotany and palynology are the main direct sources of evidence for studying
vegetation diversity dynamics through geological time. However, plant fossil diversity is …

Determining the diversity of past floras helps with interpreting both the history and predicting
the future of vegetation change. For global-scale and regional-scale diversity studies …

We estimated relative pollen productivity estimates (PPE), key parameters for the
quantitative interpretation of pollen data, for 13 taxa using modern pollen assemblages from …

Past vegetation and biodiversity dynamics, reconstructed using palaeoecological methods,
can contribute to assessing the magnitude of the current biodiversity crisis and anticipating …

The study of modern vegetation–pollen relationships has long been recognized as crucial
for the proper interpretation of fossil pollen records. Despite the quickly growing number of …
