History
|
|
The African Pollen Database is a network of all scientists
involved in African palynology, with the objective to provide a
tool, independent of particular research programmes, for the study
of biodiversity and global change. The APD came into existence in
1996 following a series of organizational workshops and meetings
that first began in 1994.

website includes a site inventory, meeting reports, and newsletters,
in addition to descriptions of the history of the APD and its
administrative structure.
