National Pollen Collection

The National Pollen Collection is a specialized archive that gathers, stores, and studies pollen samples from plants across the country. It helps scientists understand plant diversity, evolution, and environmental changes over time. By analyzing pollen grains preserved in the collection, researchers can monitor ecological shifts, assist in conservation efforts, and support fields like agriculture and climate science. This collection serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding plant life and its relationship with the environment, providing valuable data for scientific research and biodiversity management.
