  • Title: Pollen grains in lake sediments: redeposition caused by seasonal water circulation.
    Author: Davis MB.
    Journal: Science; 1968 Nov 15; 162(3855):796-9. PubMed ID: 17794811.
    Abstract:
    Annual pollen deposition per unit area measured in sediment traps is two to four times greater than deposition measured in surface sediment cores. The difference is due to repeated redeposition of pollen from the sediment surface during seasons of water circulation. This process reduces variations in the percentages of different pollen types in sediment, but causes differences in the total amount of pollen accumulated in various parts of the lake basin.
