Late Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation and climate on the northern Taymyr Peninsula, Arctic Russia

Extinction of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) in Eurasia: Review of chronological and environmental issues

“…In northern Taymyr, dwarf birch and Ericaceae dominated directly after c . 10 000 yr BP (Andreev et al 2003). At the onset of the Holocene ( c .…”

A comparative study of ancient sedimentary DNA, pollen and macrofossils from permafrost sediments of northern Siberia reveals long‐term vegetational stability

“…The finding of Juglans pollen in Arctic Pleistocene sediments is normally interpreted as deriving from reworked sediments from the tertiary (Andreev et al. 2003)—a time when walnut was common in Eurasia (Andreev et al. 2003; Beer et al.…”

A Regional Approach to the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age

“…However, the Russian palaeoclimatology has primarily been focused on long Pleistocene and Holocene perspectives and less focused on the climate variability of the last one or two millennia (Velichko et al, 1997). Siberian, as well as European Russian, pollen-based temperature reconstructions clearly show the occurrence of a MWP and a LIA but they have such a crude resolution that only multicentennial variations can be detected (Andreev et al, 2000(Andreev et al, , 2001(Andreev et al, , 2003(Andreev et al, , 2004(Andreev et al, , 2005. Five records, all primarily reflecting warm season temperatures, with temporal resolution high enough to be used here were found: 1) the Severnaja lake sediment record (Solomina and Alverson, 2004), 2) the Taimyr tree-ring width record (Naurzbaev et al, 2002), 3) the Indigirka tree-ring width record (Moberg et al, 2006), 4) the Yamal tree-ring width record (Briffa, 2000), and 5) the Polar Urals tree-ring maximum latewood density record (Esper et al, 2002).…”
