Welcome to "Pollen & Spores", a web page designed to introduce the basic concepts and applications of pollen and spores in paleoecology. This online resource is intended to be a compilation of information organized in a way to facilitate comprehension, and at the same time answer fundamental questions about pollen and spores. Closer attention will be paid to pollen since it is usually more widespread and, as a result, is generally more important for paleoenvironment reconstruction and other studies. If you have any questions, comments or complaints please do not hesitate to contact me (mlandry@geologist.com). Enjoy your navigation through my site.
