“…In addition, the reconstruction from the three topmost samples revealed a dissimilar pattern to all CH-I reconstructions. This can also be explained by the differences and complexity of proxy responses to temperature which merges with water trophic state and other environmental factors [142]. Moreover, it needs to be mentioned that CL-I reconstructions from STII M25 gave poor and very poor modern analogues.…”

Although extensive archeological research works have been conducted in the Serteya region in recent years, the Holocene climate history in the Western Dvina Lakeland in Western Russia is still poorly understood. The Neolithic human occupation of the Serteyka lake–river system responded to climate oscillations, resulting in the development of a pile-dwelling settlement between 5.9 and 4.2 ka cal BP. In this paper, we present the quantitative paleoclimatic reconstructions of the Northgrippian stage (8.2–4.2 ka cal BP) from the Great Serteya Palaeolake Basin. The reconstructions were created based on a multiproxy (Chironomidae, pollen and Cladocera) approach. The mean July air temperature remained at 17–20 °C, which is similar to the present temperature in the Smolensk Upland. The summer temperature revealed only weak oscillations during 5.9 and 4.2 ka cal BP. A more remarkable feature during those events was an increase in continentality, manifested by a lower winter temperature and lower annual precipitation. During the third, intermediate oscillation in 5.0–4.7 ka cal BP, a rise in summer temperature and stronger shifts in continental air masses were recorded. It is still unclear if the above-described climate fluctuations are linked to the North Atlantic Oscillation and can be interpreted as an indication of Bond events because only a few high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstructions from the region have been presented and these reconstructions do not demonstrate explicit oscillations in the period of 5.9 and 4.2 ka cal BP.

“…It indicates that local settlers participated in spreading trails of amber to the East. Hence, the Western Dvina Lakeland must have had high economic status in the region [57,85] which can be attributed to productive local ecosystems, high geodiversity, and favorable [142] climate conditions.…”

“…Программное обеспечение Tilia/Tilia-Graph/TGView [Grimm, 2011] использовалось для расчета процентного соотношения пыльцевых таксонов, построения диаграмм и выделения локальных пыльцевых зон. Поскольку на происхождение, распространение и захоронение непыльцевых палиноморф -НПП (микрочастицы углей, стоматы, водоросли) могут влиять совершенно разные наборы экологических переменных, то, согласно рекомендациям [Chevalier et al, 2020], мы не включали сумму НПП для расчета их относительного обилия, а показали их абсолютные значения на пыльцевых слайдах.…”

Результаты палинологического анализа донных отложений озера Ильчир стали основой реконструкции растительности и климата в котловине и бассейне озера, понимания процесса развития природной среды района в среднем-позднем голоцене. Высокое временное разрешение и надежная возрастная модель новой палинологической записи являются уникальными для Восточного Саяна, позволяя проводить внутри-и межрегиональные корреляции изменений природной среды для понимания возможных причин палеоэкологических сдвигов.

“…This compilation of pollen data comprises 985 unique records from the northern hemisphere, 363 of which from North America, 487 from Europe, and 135 from Asia including the most complete dataset for China 24 and Siberia 25 . We produced summer (June-July-August) temperature reconstructions (hereafter simply termed temperature) as summer temperatures are usually well correlated with other variables driving vegetation growth 26 . Our results are not sensitive on the choice of summer temperature (Extended Data Fig.…”

“…Pollen-based reconstructions rely on the assumption of dynamical equilibrium between climate and vegetation. This assumption is timescale dependent and is generally more valid at longer timescales 26 . In this respect, millennial scale estimates of temperature variability should thus be particularly robust.…”

Variations in regional temperature have widespread implications for society, but our understanding of the amplitude and origin of long-term natural variability is insufficient. This is especially the case for terrestrial temperature variability which is currently thought to be weak over long timescales. Here, we provide the first comprehensive estimate of regional temperature variability from annual to millennial timescales based on sedimentary pollen records and instrumental data from the Northern Hemisphere. We show that the short-term random variations are overprinted by strong ocean-driven climate variability on multi-decadal and longer timescales. This may cause substantial climate change at the regional scale in the coming century, contrasting the rather monotonous warming projected by climate models. Due to the marine influence, regions characterized by stable oceanic climate at sub-decadal timescales experience stronger long-term variability while continental regions with higher sub-decadal variability show weaker long-term variability. This fundamental relationship between the timescales provides unique insight into the mechanisms governing slow terrestrial climate variability and sets the basis to project its amplitude.
