“…Despite that the Last Inter-Glacial (LIG) period was not evidenced by our ABC analysis, climate based distributing modelling has indicated reduced probability and distribution of Scots pine in this period. This is in agreement with the former studies that have reported short and rapidly changing warming events in the LIG period (Boettger et al, 2009;Helmens, 2014). These warmer phases are characterized by reduction in cold adapted conifer trees, including Pinus taxa (Wolfe et al, 1999;Boettger et al, 2009).…”

These warmer phases are characterized by reduction in cold adapted conifer trees, including Pinus taxa (Wolfe et al, 1999;Boettger et al, 2009). Warm tolerant tree species only dwelled in the early part of the interglacial interval, in which the mixed oak forest phase was dominating with Quercus and Corylus trees (Helmens, 2014).…”

Climate fluctuations of the Quaternary caused radical changes in distribution of tree species and resulted in large-scale range shifts, population contractions and expansions. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) a widely distributed conifer of the boreal regions underwent spatio-temporal changes, which shaped the modern-day genetic structure and phylogeographic pattern of the species. By applying independent approaches, including molecular genetic data and historical climate models we aimed to describe demography and past distribution patterns of Scots pine populations from the highly fragmented southern periphery, the Carpathians and the Pannonian Basin. We used Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) approach based on nuclear microsatellite markers (nSSRs) and Maximum Entropy distribution modelling (MaxEnt) with temperature-and precipitation-related bioclimatic data. ABC results indicated that from an ancestral Scots pine population two genetic lineages have diverged that in the Mid-Pleistocene due to the favourable climatic conditions underwent population expansion leading to an admixture event. The outcome of the hindcasting confirmed the expansion that leaded to the admixture event revealed by the ABC analysis. This can be dated to the Late Glacial period (14,160-11,800 yrs BP), in which widespread distribution of Scots pine in accordance with palynological proxies was detected. Predictions for the Mid-Holocene period have shown large-scale reduction in distribution of Scots pine and low probability of its occurrence, leading to disjunction and population fragmentation.

“…The relatively short interval of degradation of coniferous forests and development of birch and open meadow and swamp communities was identified at the end of warm stage. Similar oscillations towards the very end of the Eemian have been traced in a number of sections in Central and Eastern Europe by pollen and isotope-geochemical data [14].…”

Abstract:The paper presents new results of detail pollen and macrofossil investigation of Late Pleistocene deposits in the Central Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve (the south of Valdai Hills). According to obtained data the Eemian (Mikulino) Interglacial, the Weichselian (Valdai) glacial deposits occur in the territory of the Reserve. The main trends of landscape development were determined both by changes of pollen and macrofossil assemblages and on the base of analysis of fossil flora using Ellenberg's scale. The typical forest successions of the Eemian Interglacial and short-term phases in the Interglacial\Glacial transition have been determined. The first post-Eemian cooling comprised several short stages of cooling and weak climatic ameliorations that point to general climatic instability in the initial part of this glacial epoch.
