Modern pollen surface samples: An analysis of subsamples

Multiple subsamples of pollen samples obtained from the modern soil surface at two sites in southern Arizona were individually collected and analyzed to evaluate the practice of mixing subsamples when collecting modern surface samples. Results suggest that at least five subsamples must be mixed in order to avoid collecting a sample that is not representative of the local pollen rain.
