Palynología
Palynologia is the scientific study of pollen and spores. It is a sub-discipline of botany and geology, drawing on techniques from both fields. Palynologists examine these microscopic plant reproductive particles, which are remarkably durable and can be preserved in sediments for millions of years. The morphology, structure, and distribution of pollen and spores provide valuable information for a variety of applications.
In botany, palynology helps to identify plant species, understand plant evolution and dispersal patterns, and even
Geologically, palynology is a crucial tool in stratigraphy and petroleum exploration. Fossil spores and pollen found
