Pollen and fern spores recorded in recent and late Holocene marine sediments from the Indian Ocean and Java Sea in Indonesia

Fossil pollen and spore diversity in marine sediment cores from the coasts off SW Kalimantan and NE Java (Java Sea) as well as modern pollen assemblages collected off West Java in the SE Indian Ocean in a marine sediment trap are documented in this paper. In total, photographic images of 138 pollen and 41 spores including 14 pollen and 32 unidentified spore types are presented in morphological order. Illustrated pollen and spore taxa list may help pollen and spore identification of future palynological investigations focused on the reconstruction of past vegetation, climate and environment dynamics in SE Asia.
