AbstractSurface soil samples from the forested Chuska Mountains to the arid steppe of the Chinle Valley, Northeastern Arizona, show close correlation between modern pollen rain and vegetation. In contrast, modern alluvium is dominated by Pinus pollen throughout the canyon; it reflects neither the surrounding floodplain nor plateau vegetation. Pollen in surface soils is deposited by wind; pollen grains in alluvium are deposited by a stream as sedimentary particles. Clay-size particles correlate significantly with Pinus, Quercus, and Populus pollen. These pollen types settle, as clay does, in slack water. Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthus, Artemisia, other Tubuliflorae, and indeterminate pollen types correlate with sand-size particles, and are deposited by more turbulent water. Fluctuating pollen frequencies in alluvial deposits are related to sedimentology and do not reflect the local or regional vegetation where the sediments were deposited. Alluvial pollen is unreliable for reconstruction of paleoenvironments.

Moss polsters were collected at 15 sites between Toronto and Lake Timagami, Ontario, and at 4 localities in the Lake Timagami area for the purpose of determining the regional pollen rain and its local variations. Pollen percentages of Acer, Quercus, Ambrosia, Chenopodiaceae, Compositae, and Gramineae decrease northward and Picea, Pinus, and Betula increase at the more northerly sites. From the three most northern sites a regional pollen rain was calculated by averaging the percentages from nine pollen spectra. In this area the regional pollen rain is dominated by Picea (15%), Pinus (38%), and Betula (22%). At one site a grain of Ephedra was recovered, apparently carried in by long range drift. The nearest place that it grows naturally is in the southwestern United States. Various pollen trap types were investigated and it was found that all types of moss polsters and some types of decaying stumps (depending on their moisture-holding capacity) were effective in preserving the modern pollen rain.

Pollen Rain

Modern pollen rain was studied along a 450 km long transect between Cancun-La Unión (Belizean border). Ten moss samples were collected in different vegetation types and analyzed for pollen content. The data were analyzed with classification (TWINSPAN), ordination analysis (DCA) and different association indices. Classification and ordination techniques allowed us to recognize three different pollen signals from semievergreen forest (with Maclura, Apocynaceae, Moraceae, Sapotaceae, Araceae, Cecropia, Celtis, Eugenia and Bursera), acahual (with con Coccoloba, Metopium, Anacardiaceae, Urticales, Melothria, Croton, Palmae) and disturbed vegetation (with Zea mays, Mimosa and Asteraceae ) . The degree of over-representation and underrepresentation of the pollen data with respect to the modem vegetation was established, being under-represented mostly entomophilous species. We can conclude that the actual pollen signal can be used for calibrating paleosignals, if clear groups of indicator taxa can be established.

Pollen Rain

Samples of surficial lake sediment and of moss polsters from 39 sites in the forest-tundra transitional area immediately east of the Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories, were investigated palynologically. Lake sediment samples within the forest and tundra regional vegetation zones are constant in pollen frequencies, but forest–tundra sites are very variable. Forest site spectra are composed of just over 50% arboreal types (spruce, 25–30%; birch, 30%), with 30–40% alder pollen. Tundra spectra have 60–70% non-arboreal types, and 10–15% each of alder and spruce. Forest–tundra values are variable, generally lying between the forest and tundra proportions. Polster samples show as much variability within as between regions, because of local effects. Polster samples indicate local community composition with the regional pollen rain variably masked by the local elements.
