Abstract

POLLEN ANALYSIS OF INTERMORAINE DEPOSITS FROM THE SUCHA WIEŚ SECTION (EŁK LAKELAND, NORTHEASTERN POLAND)Abstract. The results of pollen analysis of the Lower Pleistocene intermoraine deposits from Sucha Wieś are shown in a pollen diagram. The diagram documents a pollen sequence with two warm periods of interglacial rank separated by a cold one. The first warm period vegetation was represented by a pine-birch forest. Deciduous forest with oak, elm, hornbeam, lime, alder and hazel and the occurrence of warm demanding taxa such as Pterocarya, Juglans, Celtis, Ilex, Vitis and Hedera represent the second warm period. New palynological data indicate that the Sucha Wieś pollen succession is similar to the Szczebra succession although more climatic oscillations are recorded in the cold time between the first and second warm periods at Sucha Wieś. The palynological studies allow reffering the Sucha Wieś succession to the Augustovian Interglacial represented by the Szczebra and Czarnucha pollen successions.
