Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of pollen and geological analyses from the fossil lake sediments at Kaliłów near Biała Podlaska. In pollen diagram 8 local pollen zones are distinguished, starting with the shrub tundra through the Pinus-Betula woodland and typical Mazovian Interglacial succession and finishing with plant communities with abundant heliophythes. Palaeolake district is believed to be associated with linear tectonic structures of pre-Quaternary substratum because of narrow and long, up to several tens of kilometers, palaeolake depressions filled with sediments or impressive thickness, locally more than 30 m.
