Pollen fossils and related data of the Serikawa terrace deposits, Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan: Vegetation succession and implications for the season of Aira-Tn volcanic ash fallout and its effect on vegetation

Appendix S1 (text): Methods of calculation of the numbers of pollen and spores per gram of sediments and conversion of the numbers from per gram to per cubic centimeter of sediments.Table S1: The occurrence of the minor taxa of pollen and spores in Hos-A Section not shown in Fig. 3 of the main manuscript.Table S2: The occurrence of the minor taxa of pollen and spores in Hos-B Section not shown in Fig. 4 of the main manuscript. The + mark indicates the taxon occurring less than 0.01%.Table S3: The water content, the ignition loss, the count number of pollen and spores, and the number of pollen and spores per gram of dry sediments and per cubic centimeter of sediments, in Hos-B Section.Table S4: Number of pollen and spores of the taxa from peat layers intervening AT in the Hos-B Section. Taxa were classified into two groups: those that are thought to have grown in the surrounding mountains and hills, and those that are thought to have grown in and around wetlands.Table S5: Taxa reported for resuspend pollen outside their flowering periods data are from Igarashi (1987) and Miyano (2001).Fig. S1: Micrographs of pollen of fossil Mallotus and Mallotus japonicus. Photos a to c are fossil pollen of Mallotus of Hos-B-14 (a: equatorial view, b: polar view, c: tetrad), d to f are pollen of Mallotus japonicus (collection sites are: d, Ushuku, Kagoshima City; e, Sakicho, Nara City; and f, Kamamuta, Takaharu Town).Fig. S2: Numbers of the major taxa of pollen and spores per cubic centimeter of sediments in AT of Hos-B Section. The numbers of pollen and spores per cubic centimeter of sediments are in logarithmic form.
