Polen Analizlerinin Temel Prensipleri ve Kuvaterner Ortam Koşullarının Yeniden Yapılandırılmasındaki Önemi

Özet

In the studies of restructuring quaternary environmental conditions many sources and methods are referenced for determination of short and
long-term environmental changes. Pollen analysis, which is one of those methods, constitutes an important indirect registration to reveal the
changes and detections of vegetation formations, plant species and species diversity. Pollen analysis are also used as important data sources for
the determination of climatic cycles timing, duration and effects; for the determination of the relationship between natural environment and
human,; for the distribution, development, reveal of agricultural activities. Therefore, scientists benefit from the pollen records in the researches
of paleo-vegetation, paleo-climate and bioarchaelogy that partaking in paleogeographic studies. In this study, general characteristics of pollen
analysis which are very important and comprehensive and its contributions to Quaternary studies are discussed.
