Description
Summary:(Palynomorphs of the sedimentary profile of a bog, São Francisco de Paula, Eastern Plateau of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil). This paper aims at giving basic reference material to the study of plant succession in the Quaternary Brazilian southern plateau. Therefore, it presents the palynological analysis of 22 samples, taken along one sedimentary profile of 286 cm, in a bog of Rio Grande do Sul Eastern Plateau, corresponding approximately to the last 25000 years. The chemical processing of the samples followed the conventional method and the analysis was made by light microscopy. Palynomorphs corresponding to 10 fungi, 6 algae, 3 bryophytes and 16 pteridophytes were examined. The material, especially spores, is described and illustrated. The descriptions are accompanied, whenever possible, by ecological data of the original organism.
