Resumen

Sesenta muestras de lluvia polínica actual recolectadas en cepellones de musgos, procedentes de distintas comunidades de ciprés (Cupressus sempervirens L.) en la isla de Creta (Grecia), fueron analizadas palinológicamente. Las muestras proceden de seis asociaciones fitosociológicas dominadas por el ciprés entre 23 y 1600 m asl, bajo regímenes de precipitación y temperatura diferentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es prover datos novedosos acerca de la lluvia polínica actual en las islas del Egeo, así como tratar éstos mediante análisis multivariantes (análisis de cluster jerárquico y análisis de correspondencias canónicas) y a partir de sus porcentajes polínicos. La discriminación de los espectros polínicos corresponde en gran medida a la diferenciación florística de la vegetación de los bosques de Cupressus sempervirens e indica la existencia de tres nuevas asociaciones.
