- Title
Contemporary pollen studies in a native Scots pine ecosystem.

- Abstract
Pollen deposition in each of five categories of vegetation in the Forest of Abernethy was examined by collecting surface samples. Qualitative differences in the composition of pollen spectra from category to category were revealed enabling simple distinctions between vegetation categories to be made. Comparison between categories was then placed on a semi-quantitative basis by compiling modal percentage frequencies for each main pollen type recorded in each category, and this data was used to construct surface pollen assemblages characteristic of each vegetation category. The application of these surface pollen assemblages to the paleoecological problems of Scots Pine forest will be considered in detail in a subsequent paper.
