Introduction

This annotated bibliography contains entries on the modern transport and deposition of pollen. As a rule, studies that infer transport and deposition from older sediments are omitted. A few entries without annotations (e.g., Vronskiy 1981, 1984) are included for completeness. Some less well-known papers have longer summaries, to aid readers who might not have ready access to the originals.

Occasionally, secondary papers are cited within primary entries. If such a paper is treated in this chapter it is marked with an asterisk; if not treated here, its full bibliographic citation may be found by consulting the primary publication annotated here.

Acknowledgments

I have assembled this bibliography over a number of years. I would like to thank David L. Dilcher and Alfred Traverse for their encouragement, and to express much gratitude to the persevering Interlibrary Loan librarians, particularly in the Earth and Mineral Sciences Library at the Pennsylvania State University, for their help in obtaining many papers.

Andersen, S. Th. (1967). Tree-pollen rain in a mixed deciduous forest in South Jutland (Denmark). Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 3, 267 –75.

Transects through a deciduous forest show that ‘pollen percentages decrease strongly 20–30 m from dense stands of the species in question, and the pollen spectra thus appear to represent highly local vegetation’ (p. 269).
