Σύνοψη	Palynology is the scientific study of pollen grains and plant spores — microscopic structures that are chemically resistant and preserve well in sediment, soil, peat, ice, and other matrices. In agronomy, palynology is applied to reconstruct past vegetation and land-use histories, monitor crop pollination dynamics, trace the botanical origin of honey, assess aeroallergen loads, and support plant breeding programmes. It bridges botany, ecology, archaeology, and environmental science.	Pedogenesis modeling is a quantitative method used in agronomy and soil science to simulate the processes by which soils form and evolve over time. Rooted in Hans Jenny's 1941 factorial framework — soil as a function of climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time — modern approaches translate these conceptual drivers into coupled numerical process equations, allowing researchers to reconstruct past soil states and project future soil properties under changing land use or climate scenarios.
