“…An increase in the general continentalization of the climate in the region, with colder temperatures and less precipitation but with pulses of humidity corresponding to interstadial moments, is registered during MIS 3 (Voelker 2002;Zech et al 2013;Obreht et al 2017). The Carpathian Basin was then characterized by mosaic-like environments composed of closed and mixed taiga, pockets of deciduous trees, tundra elements, with treeless steppe components increasing with time (Krolopp & S€ umegi 1995;N ador et al 2011 (J anossy 1986;Gasparik 1993) and the L agr /L arv index >100 (Fig. 6) are consistent with the restoration of mittel-European climatic and environmental settings.…”

In this study, we analysed morphometrically fossil populations of Microtus arvalis and M. agrestis from eight late Middle to Late Pleistocene archaeological and palaeontological sites in the Carpathian Basin, northern Hungary. The intra‐ and interspecific variations in both species can be related to climatic oscillations linked to the onset of the Eemian interglacial and the first phases of Marine Isotope Stage 5. The size of M. agrestis can be correlated with the presence/absence of relatively humid climatic and environmental conditions and of surface water resources (such as marshes and flooded areas). A possible immigration event of M. arvalis populations into the Carpathian Basin, also related to the Eemian interglacial, is also identified.

“…Though major shifts in paleo-direction are already known, as more sophisticated and greater volumes of data are available, reconstruction could be better refined. However, only the fluvial system of the Tisza River was examined in significant detail (see Borsy et al, 1989;G abris et al, 2001, 2012F elegyh azi et al, 2004;G abris and N ador, 2007;N ador et al, 2007, 2011Kasse et al, 2010;Hernesz and Kiss, 2013;Kiss et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tIn the Great Hungarian Plain (GHP), one of the most complex fluvial systems of Europe developed through tectonic and climatic factors and vegetation change. The aim of the present study is to summarise these controlling factors and to describe the evolution of the GHP. Special attention is paid to the latest results on late Weichselian and Holocene development in the Tisza River and their effects on the river's largest tributary: the Maros River.Several tectonically active subsiding basins existing in the GHP have determined the direction of river courses and erosionaleaccumulational fluvial processes. As a result of uneven subsidence, the river's flow routes have shifted frequently. For example, the Danube and the Tisza shifted 80e100 km, abandoning their alluvial fans where extensive aeolian processes started. Upstream from the subsiding areas, incision propagated headward, which resulted in the development of floodplain levels and terraces. Though climate and vegetation changes also simultaneously influenced the rivers' hydro-morphology, channel pattern changes were found just along the margin of the plain, and only meandering paleo-channels remained in the center of the GHP. During dry and cold periods, braided patterns appeared in the alluvial fans, most likely the result of abundant sediment supply and due to the inability of sparse riparian vegetation to stabilise the banks effectively. Based on paleo-discharge calculations, by the end of the Pleistocene the rivers of the GHP produced three to eight times more discharge than they do currently, and discharge levels continuously decreased during the Holocene. However, due to the long length of the rivers, there is a considerable time lag between the response rates of the different river sections, which makes creating paleo-hydrological reconstructions even more difficult.

Pollenanalízissel az egykori elhagyott kanyarulatok korának a meghatározása is lehetséges, illetve annak rekonstruálása, hogy mikor érintették a területet nagyobb árvizek, mikor jutott a vízgyűjtő távoli területeiről is hordalék az üledékgyűjtőbe (Oroszi 2009), hiszen a hullámtereken lerakott üledék pollenanalitikai vizsgálatával következtetni lehet a feltöltődés ütemének időbeli változására, illetve az árvizek gyakoriságára és hosszára (Oroszi 2009). Nádor et al (2011 a vízhálózat mintázatának és a fluviális formakincs fejlődésének meghatározásához alkalmazott többlépcsős kutatást.…”
