Pollen-vegetation relationships
Pollen surface samples are a useful tool for quantitative reconstruction of vegetation changes in the past. There are two principal approaches for using surface pollen spectra to interpret vegetation composition: (1) the matching of fossil pollen spectra with surface pollen spectra for identification of similar environments and (2) the determination of correction factors to transform a percentage pollen diagram into a diagram showing the vegetation composition and changes accurately. The first approach provides a basis for transfer functions and the best modern analogue method (e.g. Overpeck et al. 1985). The second approach was developed from the concept of relative pollen productivity factors (Davis 1963; Andersen 1970) to model reconstructions based on relative pollen productivity estimates (Sugita 2007a, 2007b; Bunting et al. 2013). Semi-quantitative methods such as biomisation are used to display patterns in modern pollen spectra in comparison to current vegetation and thus interpret past vegetation changes (Prentice et al. 1996, 2000; Marinova et al. 2018). Evaluation and application of these approaches is illustrated by number of studies.
