Abstract:

Palaeobotanical reconstruction of the Eemian Interglacial vegetation and climate, revealed differences resulting from panregional and local factors. Lithostratigraphic analyses documented changes in sediments associated with evolution of three fossil Żabieniec lakes. Special attention was paid to Mid Eemian, for which records of thermophilic taxa were found. During the next phase the eutrophic lake shallowed, and a peatbog was formed. These processes were asynchronous and suggesting three separate lake basins. Sediments recording the longest phase of the interglacial revealed a long pause in sedimentation caused probably by a combination of factors (drop in the water level and increase in climate continentality).
