P. Ruffaldi, RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RECENT POLLEN SPECTRA AND CURRENT VEGETATION AROUND THE CERIN PEAT BOG (AIN, FRANCE), Review of palaeobotany and palynology, 82(1-2), 1994, pp. 97-112
Pollen-vegetation relationships were analysed from moss polster sample
s along two transects through the major vegetation types of the Cerin
peat bog and surroundings. Vegetation types are presented on a map and
by phytosociological analysis. While the pollen frequencies and their
relationships to vegetation type of some taxa are similar to those fo
und elsewhere, Betula, Acer and Quercus are distinctively low in their
representation, and Carpinus is significantly under-represented. Only
those non-arboreal vegetation types with high frequencies of grasses
were detectable in the pollen spectra.
