Ringkasan	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.	Phytolith analysis is a laboratory technique used to identify and quantify microscopic silica bodies deposited in plant cells, recovered from soils, sediments, or archaeological contexts. Because phytoliths preserve long after organic material has decayed, the method is central to reconstructing past vegetation, crop histories, land use, and soil development across agronomy, paleoecology, and archaeobotany.
