Table: lib_pollen

This is a reference library of pollen types with information about their size and taxonomic position. NB : the volume data have not been used.

• Pollen_name = pollen name as used in the different dataset including errors, typos etc...
• Pollen_type = clean pollen categories to be used (with some groupings)
• Pollen_familly = Botanical fammily of the pollen species
• Pollen_code : short code for Pollen_type
• Polar_ref and equatorial_ref = range of known sizes + letter providing the source of information (see below)
• p = polar size effectively used (for ranges we used the mean of the extreme values)
• q = equatorial size
• vol = volume of the ellipsoid calculated from r & q as 4/3 * r/2 *(q/2)^2
• r = mean radius used by louis to calculate the volume as a sphere
• vol_r = volume used by Louis based on r
