Reflexiones sobre la Palinología del Cuaternario y su aplicación en la reconstrucción paleoambiental y paleoclimática. I: Representación polínica de la vegetación

Abstract

The Palinological Methodology presents some objections that must be beared in mind when the pollinic analyses are used for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions. In this work the objections affecting the accuracy of the pollinic representation of vegetation are reviewed. These objections are production and dispersion of pollen grains, differential conservation, determination level and representation of the different types of vegetation
