RECONSTRUCTION OF THE LUGA-PLYUSSA LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION USING DATA ON HOLOCENE SEDIMENTS

Abstract

The paper considers a probabilistic evolution scheme of the Luga-Plyussa landscape of the glacial lake plain in the late glacial and Holocene periods. Use is made of standard methods for reconstruction of paleoclimatic indicators. The spore-pollen spectra of reference sections are analyzed with allowance for the general patterns of development of other North-West regions of Russia. The study is complicated by the lack of full spore-pollen spectra for the entire period with absolute dating of sediments for the whole territory.
