  abstract = {{T}he updated inventory of the {L}atin {A}merican {P}ollen {D}atabase ({LAPD}) offers a wide range of new insights. {T}his paper presents a systematic compilation of palynological research in {L}atin {A}merica. {A} comprehensive inventory of publications in peer-reviewed and grey literature shows a major expansion of studies over the last decades. {T}he inventory includes 1379 cores and sections with paleoecological data and more than 4800 modern samples from throughout the continent. {T}hrough the years, pollen datasets extend over increasing spans of time and show improved taxonomic and temporal resolution. {C}urrently, these datasets are from 12 modem biomes and 30 countries, covering an altitudinal range of 0 to 6300 m asl. {T}he most densely sampled regions are the {C}olombian {A}ndes, the southeast coast of {B}razil, and {P}atagonia. {U}nderrepresented biomes are the warm temperate mixed forest (3%), dry forests (3%), and warm temperate rainforest (1%); whereas steppe, tropical rainforest, and cool grass shrublands, such as the paramos, are generally well represented (all >17%). {T}here are 126 records that span the late {P}leistocene to the {L}ast {G}lacial {M}aximum transition (21,000 cal yr {BP}), and >20% of the records cover the {Y}ounger {D}ryas interval and the {P}leistocene/{H}olocene transition. {R}eanalysis of numerous sites using multiproxy tools emphasize the informative value of this approach in paleoenvironmental reconstruction. {W}e make suggestions for several pollen sites and regions to be visited again; similarly we identify some key research questions that have yet to be answered. {T}he updated {LAPD} now provides the platform to support an exciting new phase of global palynological research in which multi-site data are being integrated to address current cutting-edge research questions. {T}he {LAPD} compilation of sites and the literature database will be available through the {N}eotoma {P}aleoecology {D}atabase website and a new {LAPD} website by the end of 2015.},
