Modern pollen-assemblage data from small lakes paired with local forest-composition data in northeastern United

Abstract:
Understanding and modeling of how forest composition and pattern are recorded by sedimentary pollen assemblages requires data sets in which modern pollen assemblages are paired with forest-composition data across a range of spatial scales. Pollen data from 33 small lakes (<2.0 ha) in the northeastern United States, paired with estimates of forest composition and basal area by species within successive radial distances from the lake margins (0-20, 20-50, 50-100, 100-500, 500-1,000 m), can support further studies of pollen-vegetation relationships and development of calibration models. There are no copyright or proprietary restrictions for research or teaching purposes, other than citation of this source of the data.
