Abstract
Paleoecology is the study of the composition and distribution of past ecosystems and their changes through time on scales of decades to hundreds of millions of years. Paleoecologists derive their inferences mainly from fossil and geological data and have assembled data sets with local to global coverage. These data sets provide the possibility of having a zoom lens view of past changes both in space and in time. The author uses Quaternary pollen and plant macrofossil data to illustrate how these data can be organized spatially, temporally, taxonomically, and numerically to provide a zoom lens view of a variety of ecological phenomena.
