SUMMARY The relationship between modern pollen rain and the floristic composition of vegetation was studied for six vegetation types in Iceland, viz. fell‐field, Rhacomitrium heath, grassland with dwarf‐shrub, dwarf‐shrub heath, mires within dwarf‐shrub heath, and a Salix herbacea‐ dominated slope. The results suggest that the vegetation types examined can be characterized, to some degree, by their modern pollen rain.
