Abstract
Modern pollen samples provide necessary research tool that help to interpret the Holocene fossil pollen record, allow to investigate the relationship between pollen as the proxy and the environmental parameters such as vegetation, land-use, and climate that the pollen proxy represents. The Russian Modern Pollen Database is a new initiative of Russian Palynological Commission to establish a publicly accessible repository of modern (surface sample) pollen data. The Database is freely available online to the scientifi c community (http://pollendata.org) and currently has information on almost 700 pollen samples from territory of European Russia and Western Siberia. The database contains information about the name of the section; its location – coordinates, altitude; the type of the sample for pollen analysis (surface soil, moss, pillows, etc.); area relief (lake basin, fl oodplain, etc); local vegetation; regional vegetation (landscape zone or subzone); climate data, information about researchers and references. The database is constantly updated.
