Descrição
Ecologist Paul Colinvauxs past several years in the Amazon yield this important manual written both in English and Portuguese. Consisting, in large part, of illustrations of the principal pollen types that have been found and identified in the sediments of Amazonian lakes, Amazon Pollen Manual and Atlas will prove a powerful tool for ecologists and climate modelers. The manual also contains brief reviews of pioneering pollen work in the Amazon to date, as well as sections on pollen methods, pollen statistics, paleoecology, and lake coring methods.
