Some problems of forest transformation at the transition to the oligocratic/ Homo sapiens phase of the Holocene interglacial in northern lowlands of central Europe
“…At about 950 B.C., the significant decrease from 14 to 4 % of Ulmus pollen corresponds to data from other sites in central Europe which can be connected with changes in soils from the meso-to oligocratic stages of an interglacial (Ralska-Jasiewiczowa et al 2003). …”

“…It is worth mentioning that in this period Ulmus is represented with high amounts, up to 20 % at *2800 B.C. This is much higher than the values of up to 10 % reported in the specialist literature from neighbouring regions (Ralska-Jasiewiczowa et al 2003;Zachowicz et al 2004). This period is characterised by increasing amounts of Picea and Carpinus (Fig.…”

“…A similar situation had previously been recorded for Tuchola Forest area by MiotkSzpiganowicz (1992 & personal communication). The timing of these changes corresponds approximately to the development of Neolithic settlements, which had started in Northern Central Europe around 6500 BP, and accelerated through the decreasing density of woodlands brought about by a large reduction in elm trees (Ralska-Jasiewiczowa et al, 2003). In agreement with this idea, the oldest, Mesolithic Komorniki culture and Neolithic human activities were described in the river valleys of Tuchola Forest (Grzelakowska, 1989a,b).…”

Section: Ca 5600 Bp -Possible Early Human Impactmentioning
We reconstructed the Holocene developmental history of a kettle-hole peatland in the Tuchola Forest of Northern Poland, using pollen, testat amoebae and plant macrofossil indicators. Our aims were to determine the timing and pattern of autogenic succession and natural and anthropogenic influences on the peatland.
“…Oak was a component of varied communities e.g. it formed forests of the contemporary open oak wood type (Querco-Potentilletum albae), which may be anthropogenic in origin (Matuszkiewicz, 2002;Ralska-Jasiewiczowa et al, 2003 andMilecka et al, 2004). In the vicinity of Karaśne Lake, both in the early and late Subboreal chronozone (AlnusQuercus subzone) oak was quite a stable component of forests as the frequency of its pollen does not exhibit major fluctuations.…”

Abstract:This article presents results of multidisciplinary research which has been carried out in order to determine changes in the vegetation cover as well as changes in the structure of the Karaśne lake-mire complex in the Late Glacial and Holocene. In addition, human impact on the formation of the vegetation cover and the bio-and chronostratigraphy of the Late Glacial sediments is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
