Abstract Understanding and modeling of how forest composition and pattern are recorded by sedimentary pollen assemblages requires data sets in which modern pollen assemblages are paired with forest‐composition data across a range of spatial scales. Pollen data from 33 small lakes (<2.0 ha) in the northeastern United States, paired with estimates of forest composition and basal area by species within successive radial distances from the lake margins (0–20, 20–50, 50–100, 100–500, 500–1,000 m), can support further studies of pollen–vegetation relationships and development of calibration models.
