PALEOPALYNOLOGICAL STUDY OF LEGUMINOSAE AND ROSACEAE FAMILIES IN ELBASAN REGION

The study is performed in Elbasan city. This city is situated in the middle of Albania. It is one of the biggest cities of Albania. A lot of biological studies have been realized in this region during two last decades’ periods. This study provides some paleopalynological data about the dispersion of Leguminosae and Rosaceae families during Quaternary period in the area where is situated Elbasan. The aim of this paper is to present the correlation between the depth and dispersion of Leguminosae and Rosaceae families on different periods of time. For this purpose we took some samples from various layers of soil, starting from the surface to four meters depth.Palynological data for these families were provided for the first time in the Albania’s palynological literature.According to the analyses of these samples we found out several interesting data that showed clearly the correlation between the depth and number of spores and pollens for these two families.
