    Abstract

    Annulus diameter and size in pollen of 80 North European Poaceae species were measured. Annulus diameter was considered more reliable for identification of fossil pollen than pollen size because annulus is less modifiable and can be measured on all grains. Surface sculpturing is also useful for identification and pollen size is useful in cases where preservation is good or moderately good. Pollen of Glyceria sp., Hordeum vulgare or Agropyron repens, Secale cereale and Avena saliva were identified in Holocene deposits.
