Abstract:
This table provides aggregated pollen counts used as input to the REVEALS regional vegetation model for Purghagoolah (Lake Elusive), a lake of approximately 40 ha and 21 m depth in Croajingolong National Park, Gippsland, southeastern Australia, on Gunaikurnai Country (37°44'50"S, 149°27'9"E; decimal -37.747222, 149.452500, WGS84; 50 m a.s.l.), cored on 9 February 2021 with a Universal Corer (Aquatic Instruments). Adjacent samples from the original-resolution REVEALS input were combined to raise per-sample pollen sums (to a minimum of approximately 303 and a maximum of approximately 682 grains), and the REVEALSinR model was rerun to test the sensitivity of the reconstruction to pollen count size. Counts are reported by modelled age for the modelled taxa. The aggregation yields a mean of approximately 30 years between samples, compared with approximately 15 years in the original-resolution dataset, and confirms that the broad reconstructed trends are maintained.
