“…Using this model, Konecka-Betley (1991) and Manikowska (1995) have correlated paleosols with two main climate warmings during the Late Glacial interval-the Bølling interstadial (14.69-14.07 ka) and Allerød interstadial (13.95-12.89 ka). However, more recent results obtained from different parts of the ESB reveal an alternative stratigraphic model that more closely matches Greenland ice core records (Bos et al 2017;Mirosław-Grabowska et al 2020;Moska et al 2021). Therefore, this study recalibrates the previously published 14 C dating results from classic type localities and compares them with more recently published results, as well as new data obtained in this study.…”

“…At every site, at least one paleosol with 14 C data occurred within the fluvial-aeolian sediments (Supplementary Table S1). Following recalibration, these dates were compared with more recently published 14 C results (Moska et al 2020(Moska et al , 2021 as well as 14 C dates obtained from the following six new sites in this study: Brzust ów, Gołąb, Laszczyny, Przech ód, Osiny, and Teodor ów (Figure 1B). Overall, this study aims to (1) collect and recalibrate 14 C dating results from selected key sites in the Polish part of the ESB, (2) reinterpret the stratigraphy of these classic sites, and (3) create a new stratigraphic model based on correlation between previous results and new findings from this study.…”

This paper presents 66 radiocarbon (14C) dates obtained at 33 key sites from the Polish part of the European Sand Belt. These calibrated dating results were compared to 34 high-resolution 14C dates obtained from a fluvial-aeolian sediments to identify pedogenic phases from the late Pleniglacial interval to the early Holocene. These identified pedogenic phases were correlated with Greenland ice-core records, revealing high sensitivity of the fluvio-aeolian paleoenvironment to climate changes. Two pedogenic phases were identified from the late Pleniglacial interval (Greenland Stadial GS-2.1b and GS-2.1a), three from the Bølling-Allerød interstadial (Greenland Stadial GI-1), one from the late Allerød–Younger Dryas boundary, and at least one from the Younger Dryas. The ages of these pedogenic phases reveal a distinct delay of 50–100 calendar years after the onset of cool climate conditions during GI-1, reflecting gradual withdrawal of vegetation. Soil horizons from the early Holocene do not show any clear relation with climate change, where breaks in soil formation were caused by local factors such as human activity.

“…Podzols sensu IUSS Working Group WRB (2015) occur only locally, due to both the particular set of environmental conditions and length of time needed for podzolization (Retallack, 2021). Paleosols found in the Late Glacial-Holocene dune deposits are also frequently developed as Arenosols (Moska et al, 2022).…”

Mammal tracks record anthropogenic environmental influence in late-Holocene inland dunes of the European Sand Belt, Poland

et al. 2022

Structures previously suggested to be footprints or tracks, but which have been little described, were observed within Quaternary inland dunes of the European Sand Belt. Excavation of these in several localities of the eastern part of the belt in Poland reveal that they are hoofprints of various ungulate mammals, both wild and domestic, as well as footprints of humans, ranging from potentially as early as the fifth to sixth century to the 19th century or later. Trample grounds and horizons with high densities of tracks are associated with other signs of intensifying usage of dune habitats for pasture and farming, including constrained movement of livestock, relatively well-developed paleosols, and evidence of ploughing. The presence of such abundant life traces not only reflects the presence of individual animals and people in an area, but sheds light on the potential processes and feedbacks that the tracemakers were involved in, in terms of maintaining and modifying the habitats themselves, which were dynamic and changeable. Footprints and their associated sedimentological records can be integrated with archaeological and historical data to analyse anthropogenic influence through time on physical landscapes and on the wild biota.

“…Both for the dune fields of the Carpathian Basin and those elsewhere in Europe, numerous previous studies indicate aeolian activity in the wet phases of the Middle and Late Holocene, referring to an increased human impact, leading to the deterioration of vegetation cover and the simultaneous start of deflation (e.g., Ujházy et al, 2003;Hilgers, 2007;Kiss et al, 2012b;Sipos et al, 2016;Moska et al, 2021). Nevertheless, no such signs have been detected so far in the Deliblato Sands, which could be either due to low disturbance as a result of low population density in the area or because at least on the SE part of the high dune field, the record is overwritten by eighteenth-century dune formation.…”

“…There are also several OSL-supported data on aeolian activity from this period from other dune fields of the region (e.g., Ujházy et al, 2003, Kiss et al, 2012b). Moreover, Younger Dryas/Preboreal dune formation has been widely reported from the area of the European Sand Belt (Hilgers, 2007, Tolksdorf and Kaiser, 2012, Kalińska-Nartiša et al, 2016, Moska et al, 2021), the inland deposits of the Iberian Peninsula (Bernat Rebollal and Pérez-González, 2008), and the coversands of the Atlantic coast in southwest France (Bertran et al, 2013).…”

Late Pleistocene and Holocene aeolian activity in the Deliblato Sands, Serbia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Deliblato Sands is among the largest uniform dune fields of Europe, with a very pronounced topography reflecting extensive past aeolian events. Although lacking numerical age data, previous researchers have hypothesized various periods of dune formation. Our research goals were to map the main morphological units of the Deliblato Sands, and to provide the first optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages for the major dune types. Mapping was carried out using digital elevation models, satellite images, and GPS profiles. Dune development was investigated using OSL. Several tests were performed concerning thermal treatment, signal characteristics, dose recovery, and dose distributions to assess the suitability of sediments for luminescence dating. Based on our results, two dune generations could be identified that differed in morphology and age. Older dune forms are primarily low sand-supply, hairpin-like parabolic dunes that developed from the last glacial maximum until the end of the early Holocene, then became stabilized. Younger, superimposed parabolic dunes record an intensive aeolian signal from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The history of the Deliblato Sands fits with those from other European sand dune areas, and provides further details to understand paleoenvironmental changes in the region.
