Abstract:
This table provides the pollen counts used as input to the REVEALS (Regional Estimates of VEgetation Abundance from Large Sites) 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). Counts are reported by modelled age (CE and cal a BP) for the taxa included in the model (Acacia, Casuarinaceae, Asteraceae, Banksia, Cupressaceae, Eucalyptus, Leptospermum, Melaleuca and Poaceae). They were generated by light microscopy from the same core and samples as the raw pollen count dataset, and were applied with the REVEALSinR implementation (disqover package) using a southeastern Australian relative pollen productivity dataset. This table corresponds to the original sample resolution, a mean of approximately 15 years between samples.
