Accumulation rates were calculated from raw pollen counts using an added Lycopodium clavatum marker and the sediment accumulation rate from the lead-210 and radiocarbon age-depth model. Values are reported by depth and modelled age (approximately 844 to 2021 CE) and provide an estimate of pollen influx, used here as an indicator of changing pollen and inferred plant productivity through time.149.4525-37.747222Lake Elusive, Victoria, Australia
