Ecology II
Botanic macrofossils:
After the sampling in the field, the samples are stored until the botanical macrofossils are analysed.
Palynology:
As soon as the samples of a site are collected, parts of those samples can be examined on spores and pollen.
Learning objectives:
Botanic macrofossils:

Palynology:
To be able to use reference material to identify spores and pollen of a Quaternary site;
To be able to make a pollen-diagram;
To be able to interpret palynological data.
