“…The dark-colored Soil 4 consisted here of four humus horizons, divided by thin depositional layers. The detailed descriptions of the soil profiles ZBS-4 are published in Krenke et al (2013); Ershova et al (2016a).…”

“…Following these initial assumptions, a palynological study of the paleosols was carried out in the Moskva River floodplain (Ershova et al 2014, 2016a, 2016b). In several sections, both the amount and degree of preservation of palynomorphs were sufficient for the analysis, whereas the other sections did not contain pollen.…”

“…The Soil 4 of the Atlantic period (a Phaeozem) contained pollen of both forest and grassland taxa (Ershova et al 2014). The Soil 3 of the Subboreal period (the Zvenigorod Biological Station (ZBS) site), a Luvisol, contained pollen of the forest vegetation (Ershova et al 2016a, 2016b). The Late Holocene paleosol, designated as the Soil 2 in our stratigraphic scheme, was formed during the Subatlantic period (from 2700 to 800 cal BP).…”

Seven main periods of soil formation can be distinguished in the floodplain of the Moskva (Moscow) River, with the oldest paleosols dated to the Allerød age. We analyzed paleosols buried under alluvial deposits, colluvial sediments, and archaeological deposits within the catchment area of the Moskva River. Paleopedological reconstructions were correlated with the results of the pedoanthracological and palynological analyses. Series of radiocarbon (14C) dates were obtained on humic acids and dispersed macro-charcoal from paleosols and archaeological features. Wide time frames of the floodplain paleosol formation were determined at a 95% probability as 14,600–12,600 cal BP for Soil 7; 9500–7000 cal BP for Soils 6 and 5; 6700–5500 cal BP for Soil 4; 5000–4400 cal BP for Soil 3b; 4100–2700 cal BP for Soil 3a; and 2000–700 cal BP for Soil 2. The dates were compared with the age of archaeological sites from the same areas. The comparison revealed a close correspondence between the ages of the soil charcoal and the timing of archaeological occupations. That allowed us to conclude that the fire occurrence on a regional level was associated mainly with the human occupation. The fire record is especially pronounced in floodplain paleosols, due to both the role of rivers as human migration corridors, and the integral accumulation of combustion products from the entire catchment area in these paleosols.

“…Об этом свидетельствуют находки пыльцы и плодов таких степных растений, как эфедра, степная вишня, разнообразные полыни (см. глава 1; Борисова, 2015; Еrshova et al, 2016b), а также широко распространенные в Московской области погребенные черноземовидные почвы среднеголоценового возраста с признаками степ-ного почвообразования (Александровский и др., 2016;Alexandrovskiy, Krenke, 2004;Ershova et al, 2014;2016a). После резкого, но кратковременного похолодания 8200 cal BP (Борзенкова и др., 2017), продолжилось распро-странение пород широколиственного леса.…”

“…Важно отметить, что в Мо-сковской области, в отличие от более северных регио-нов, участие хвойных пород в середине голоцена было очень небольшим: ель встречалась единично, а сосна, согласно пыльцевым данным, составляла лишь незна-чительную примесь (Kremenetski et al, 2000;Борисова, 2014a, б;2015;Ershova et al, 2016a, b). Ель начала массо-во распространяться в регионе только около 5000 cal BP, сначала -по долинам рек (Ershova et al, 2016a), и лишь потом, с похолоданием и увлажнением климата -на во-доразделах, достигнув максимума к началу субатлан-тического периода («первый верхний максимум ели» по Хотинскому, 1977).…”
