Data sets

Compilation of pollen productivity estimates and taxonomically harmonised relative pollen productivity (RPP) datasets for Europe, northern America, China and the Northern Hemisphere extratropics Mareike Wieczorek and Ulrike Herzschuh https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.922661

Short summary

Relative pollen productivity (RPP) estimates are used to estimate vegetation cover from pollen records. This study provides (i) a compilation of northern hemispheric RPP studies, allowing researchers to identify suitable sets for their study region and to identify data gaps for future research, and (ii) taxonomically harmonized, unified RPP sets for China, Europe, North America, and the whole Northern Hemisphere, generated from the available studies.
