| Abstract |
This chapter is dedicated to soil pollen analysis. Pollen analysis of limnic deposits and peat was introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, but the first results of pollen analysis of soils appeared in the 1960s. Without knowledge of the processes of infiltration and conservations of pollen in soil, achieved by micromorphological analysis, a reliable interpretation of soil pollen spectra is not possible.
