This book presents research work on the sedimentation of components of palynofacies and details their importance for sequence stratigraphy and the interpretation of ancient biologic and geologic environments. After a comprehensive introduction, later chapters look at palynosedimentation in modern environments, the reconstruction of terrestrial vegetation, the application of the data to sequence stratigraphy and several chapters deal with various quantitative methods and their specific applications in the subject.
