What was the impact of thousand years of human presence on the island? Palynology, the study of fossil pollen and spores in old deposits, can help us to reconstruct the vegetation history for Aruba. The first results of a palynological research carried out at Boca Prins and the Spaans Lagoen are presented here. They indicate that the vegetation of Aruba has changed over the years, due to climatic fluctuations and human impact. Fossil pollen and spores were identified of plant species that nowadays are hardly found on the island. Fern spores in older sediments may indicate that Aruba was much wetter in the past. Fossil pollen from Pal’i sia cora or gumbo limbo tree (Bursera simaruba) were abundant in older sediments of the Spaans Lagoen indi...
