Zapis palinologiczny zmian roślinności i klimatu interglacjału augustowskiego w profilu Żarnowo (Równina Augustowska, północno-wschodnia Polska)

Abstract

Palinological record of vegetation and climate changes of Augustovian Interglacial at the Żarnowo Site (Augustów Plain, northeastern Poland).A b s t r a c t. Series of lacustrine-boggy sediments from a drilling core at the Żarnowo site (the Augustów Plain, NE Poland) have been investigated by means of high-resolution pollen analysis. The pollen succession from Żarnowo is of a long pollen sequence nature. Twenty three local pollen assemblage zones representing decline of the Narevian Glaciation, Augustovian Interglacial and the beginning of the Nidanian Glaciation have been distinguished. The interglacial part of the pollen succession is characterized by the presence of two warm stages (of interglacial rank) separated by a cold stage comprising stadial and interstadial intervals. This long pollen sequence was compared with other pollen sequences from the Augustów Plain, and with those of the Ferdynandovian age.
