TLDR
The relationship between palynological diversity and floristic diversity was studied on the basis of sediment surface sample pollen data from nine small lakes and vegetation data within a 250 m radius from the lake shore of each.About:

TL;DR: It is shown that almost all studies which have compared modern pollen richness with contemporary site-specific plant richness reveal good relationships between palynological richness and plant richness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the composition of lake and catchment vegetation and vascular plant eDNA at 11 lakes in northern Norway and found that 17% and 12% matched taxa recorded in vegetation surveys within 2 m and up to about 50 m away from the lakeshore, respectively.

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that Neolithic people spread into a landscape that was already open, and humans probably contributed to the spread of oak, and influenced the dynamics of hazel and hornbeam.

Measuring Biological Diversity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the pressure humanity is placing on the natural world, and on the continued ability of ecosystems to deliver the services on which we all depend, and develop strategies to ameliorate its impact.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the production and dispersal of Pollen Grains, where Pollen is found, how it is recovered, and where it comes from.

TL;DR: Differences between fossil and modern data and the addition of recently available palaeontological information influence understanding of the current extinction crisis, and results confirm that current extinction rates are higher than would be expected from the fossil record.

TL;DR: In this article, a measure called the effective number of species is developed from a nonparametric probability inequality and is shown to have a simple interpretation in terms of comparing linear experiments.
