In Addition, The Volume Includes Brief Reviews Of Significant Pollen Work In The Amazon To Date, And Sections On Pollen Methods, Statistics, Paleoecology And Lake Coring. Pollen Analysis Of Lake Sediments Is The Most Widely Used Procedure For Reconstructing Paleoclimates By Climate Modelers And Ecologists; Therefore, This Book Should Prove A Powerful Tool For Historical Climate Studies.--jacket. Pt. 1. Pollen Manual -- Pt. 2. Amazon Pollen Atlas. Paul Colinvaux, Paulo Eduardo De Oliveira And Jorge Enrique Moreno Patiño. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 313-317) And Indexes. The pollen record of the neotropical flora is potentially rich, able to yield an history not only of vegetation change (and hence of climate change) but also of community dynamics.
