Early Vistulian climate oscillations in the light of pollen analysis of deposits from Dziadowa Kłoda (Silesian Lowland, Poland)
The stratigraphy and palaeogeography of Quaternary deposits underlying the Oleoenica Plain were investigated during mapping of the Sycw sheet of the Detailed Geological Map of Poland on the scale of 1:50 000. The Oleoenica Plain is part of the southern foreland of the Trzebnica Ridge, the latter rep...

The stratigraphy and palaeogeography of Quaternary deposits underlying the Oleoenica Plain were investigated during mapping of the Sycw sheet of the Detailed Geological Map of Poland on the scale of 1:50 000. The Oleoenica Plain is part of the southern foreland of the Trzebnica Ridge, the latter representing a frontal moraine of the South and Middle Polish Glaciations. Neopleistocene deposits found at the Dziadowa Kłoda site were analyzed for their pollen content. These lacustrine to swamp deposits represent a continuous and undisturbed sequence spanning the Eemian Interglacial to Brrup Interstadial interval. The Early Vistulian deposits have been the subject of detailed palynological investigations. The reconstructed pattern of vegetation changes has allowed a precise determination of the upper boundary of the last interglacial as well as the recognition of stadial-interstadial horizons. Three climatic oscillations have been noted, corresponding to the Herning and Rederstall stadials and the Brrup Interstadial. In the climatic optimum of the interstadial, dense boreal pine-birch forests accompanied by a minor admixture of alder and spruce were predominant.
