Vegetation and climate during the Weichselian Early Glacial and Pleniglacial in the Nierderlausitz, eastern Germany-macrofossil and pollen evidence.
Cryoturbated organic beds and channel fills, intercalated with sandy and gravelly fluvial units, have been studied in an opencast brown-coal mine near Nochten (Niederlausitz), eastern Germany. The fluvial-aeolian sequence covers parts of the Early, Pleni- and Late-glacial. The detailed chronology is...
