THE EVOLUTION OF CLIMATE AND LANDSCAPES OF THE LOWER VOLGA REGION DURING THE HOLOCENE

The results of the palynological analysis and 14C dating of the most complete sequences of the Holocene sediments were used for a detailed reconstruction of multi-cyclic alternations of climate phases and zonal and intrazonal plant formations that were taking place the Lower Volga region during the...
