Changes of vegetation in the eastern part of Khanka Plain (south of the Russian Far East) at the transition from the Late Pleistocene cryochron (MIS 2) to the Early Holocene
Abstract Reconstructions of the vegetation in the eastern part of the Khanka Plain have been performed for the time interval at the transition from the Late Pleistocene cryochron (MIS 2) to the Holocene. New evidence of considerable changes in the vegetation structure were provided by the palynologi...
