This study was carried out in the Teke Peninsula, in Cedrus libani A. Rich. (Lebanon cedar), Juniperus L. sp. (Juniper) and Quercus L. sp. (Oak) mixed forest (Susuz Dağ-Elmalı-Antalya), which is located in the Mediterranean mountain ecosystem. The purpose of the study is to determine the modern pollen distribution (influx and percentage) of this forest and to create a basic calibration scheme for the fossil pollen studies. For the purpose of this study, two-year modern pollen distribution was monitored between the years 2015-2017 using the Tauber pollen traps and moss samples, which were placed at 6 different points in the study area. Furthermore, the surface sediment sample of Lake Avlan was obtained, and the accumulation characteristic of the modern pollen distribution in the lake was revealed. The principles of the European Pollen Monitoring Programme Protocol (EPMPP) were followed in the laboratory methodology. Surface sediment was analyzed according to the classical fossil pollen method. The majority of the pollen influx obtained from the Tauber pollen traps in the Cedrus libani-Juniperus-Quercus forest belongs to arboreal taxa (AP) (Cedrus libani, Pinus L. sp., Quercus coccifera L. and Juniperus sp.). The highest pollen influx of these taxa belongs to Cedrus libani. In the surface sediment sample obtained from Lake Avlan, the highest pollen influx belongs to Pinus sp. When the pollen influx values were compared for the years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, the pollen influxes of the Tauber pollen traps in all sample areas were higher than the moss samples in 2015-2016 except for the two sample areas (CJQ-1 and CJQ-4). In parallel with the pollen influx in the study area, the majority of the modern pollen percentage distribution (84-94%) consists of woody taxa. Within these taxa, Cedrus libani, Pinus sp., Quercus coccifera and Juniperus sp. form almost all of the AP percentage.
