Correlation between pollen spectra and vegetation of Chhota Shigri Glacier in Himachal Pradesh, India

Abstract

Pollen analysis of modern surface samples and glacial deposits, collected from Chhota Shigri Glacier at different altitudes ranging between 3.750 to 5.010 m, has been carried out to understand the pollen/vegetation relationship. The study reflects the predominance of extra-regional arboreals over local non-arboreal taxa.
