| Abstract | The pollen analysis of the surface sediments from the Gulf of Kachchh, India shows mainly the type of the surrounding vegetation. The pollen grains of Avicennia marina, Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae and Cyperaceae are dominant in the assemblage. The shrubs are represented by the pollen grains of Chenopodiaceae and Salvadora persica. The pollen grains of Acacia, Prosopis and Rhamnaceae (Zizyphus) are poorly represented. The quantitative analysis shows higher percentage of the pollen/spores in the mouth than in the head region of gulf. On the other hand, the occurrence of the Hystrichosphaerids is higher in the head region than in the mouth of the gulf. |
