The Impact of Dansgaard\textendashOeschger Cycles on the Loessic Environment and Malacofauna of Nussloch (Germany) during the Upper Weichselian
Abstract A loess sequence has been sampled continuously at high resolution in Nussloch (Rhine Valley, Germany) for malacological and grain-size analyses between ca. 34 and 20 ka. Molluscan abundance and richness, percentage in hygrophilous species and grain-size index show cyclical variations relate...

Abstract A loess sequence has been sampled continuously at high resolution in Nussloch (Rhine Valley, Germany) for malacological and grain-size analyses between ca. 34 and 20 ka.
