Palynological characteristic of the series of lacustrine and paludal deposites of the Holocene in the headwaters of the Zakan River (Western Caucasus).

Abstract

Kvavadze et al. 1994: Palynological studies of the deposits of the Luganski bog situated at an altitutde of 2428 m have shown that glacial lakes repeatedly emerged there during the Holocene. They used to exist for rather a long time during the Atlantic. More shortterm lake basins reappeared at the very end of the Subboreal period and during the climatic optimums 1000 BP and 400-500 BP.
