Abstract

Here we present a new global compilation of modern pollen and spore data for use in testing and evaluating palaeoclimate reconstruction methods. The resulting dataset contains 21,503 pollen assemblages from all continents excluding Antarctica. All pollen assemblages have geographical coordinates listed, and the majority have an elevation measurement. Taxonomic nomenclature has been standardised.
