Abstract

This study was carried out in the İğneada Waterlogged
Forests (Kırklareli) located downhill of Istranca mountains at 20 km distance
to Bulgaria border line and had a shore to Black Sea. These forests have
different vegetation types such as waterlogged forest, peat, bog and sand dunes
plant communities, sand zone and wetlands. The main arboreal species of these
forests are Acer campestre, Acer
trautvetteri, Alnus glutinosa, Carpinus betulus, Carpinus orientalis, Fraxinus
angustifolia, Fraxinus ornus, Juglans regia, Quercus cerris, Quercus frainetto,
Quercus petraea, Quercus robur, Ulmus leavis and Ulmus minor. Pollen monitoring results were obtained from six
different sampling sites in the waterlogged forests around Mert and Saka Lake. The
purpose of this study is to determine the modern pollen distribution of these
forests and to create a basic calibration scheme for the fossil pollen studies.
For this purpose, seven years of modern pollen distribution was monitored
between September 2009 and 2016 using Tauber pollen traps which were placed at
6 different points in this study area. These traps were changed once a year in
the field and transferred to the Palynology Laboratory of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa.
The protocol of European Pollen Monitoring Programme (EPMP) was followed in the
laboratory methodology. The majority of the pollen influx obtained from the
Tauber pollen traps in the İğneada
Waterlogged forests belongs to Fraxinus and Carpinus from 2009 to 2016.  As a result of this study, the
annual arboreal pollen influxes of Fraxinus,
Carpinus, Quercus, Acer, Corylus, Ulmus, Hedera helix and Alnus
was higher respectively in the years of 
2009-2016.  Seven-year pollen
influx data of these pollen traps reflects the current vegetation.
