New data about Holocene vegetation history in the Ukrainian Carpathians

Abstract

Palaeopalynological analysis of Shyrkovets peat bog situated at the Beskyds and Gorgans boundary, allows reconstructing vegetation history of this region in Subboreal and Subatlantic periods of Holocene. Some features of plant succession were shown to be peculiar to whole East-Carpathian region, partycularly the appearance of Carpinus, Fagus, Abies in the Subboreal period. These trees became a part of plant cover of the investigated region about 1,000 years earlier than they appeared in the North-Carpa­thian Foreland.
