“…The Kamenka Interglacial was followed by a further cooling (MIS 8,. As to the subsequent warm interval marked by the Romny fossil soil formation (MIS 7,, it has been interpreted in two different ways -either as an interglacial (Bolikhovskaya 1995, Shik 2014, or as interstadial (Velichko et al 2009).…”

Abstract Evolutionary changes in European small mammals during the second half of the Middle Pleistocene, from the Likhvin (Holsteinian, Hoxnian) Interglacial (MIS 11) to the beginning of the Mikulino (Eemian) Interglacial (MIS 5e), that is between 424 ka BP and 130 ka BP were traced. Trends in evolutionary change were documented, and East European and West European faunas were compared. An integrated analysis of available theriological, geological, and geochronological data for the second half of the Middle Pleistocene in Europe has shown marked changes in the small mammal fauna throughout the period under consideration and provided information on the climate and environments at different time intervals. Changes traceable in the Arvicolinae phyletic lines made a correlation between the West European and East European mammal localities possible. The biostratigraphic scheme of the second half of the Middle Pleistocene has been developed and maps of small mammal localities compiled.

“…The theory has been universally accepted (Basarin et al 2014;Novothny et al 2011;Heller and Evans 1995). In China, Eastern Europe and Azov sea, magnetic susceptibility has a positive correlation with intensity of pedogenesis, low in loess layers, but high in paleosols (Heller et al 1991;Marković et al 2008;Velichko et al 2009a). This phenomenon is explained by the fact that there are more finegrained magnetite and maghemite grains formed in the process of pedogenesis (Zhou et al 1990).…”

“…Samples for pollen analysis and for dating by radiocarbon and Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) methods were taken where appropriate. Soil complexes (SC) in the outcrops were identified according to the typology of the fossil soils in the region [31,32]. The paleogeographic reconstructions based on palynological data, especially those using the paleofloristic method [33][34][35], provided the landscape-climatic background for the geomorphological investigations.…”

“…The key instrument for assessing the geochronology of ancient erosion features in the Azov Sea area is loess-soil stratigraphy. Layers of loess of different ages are separated by horizons of well-distinguished fossil soils, presumably formed during interglacial and large interstadial intervals of the Pleistocene, correlated with warm marine isotope stages and substages [31,32]. It is possible to identify the specific features of paleosoils of different ages based on their typical morphology and correlation with the chronostratigraphic scheme of loess-soil series of the East European Plain [31,32].…”

“…29-57 ka; Mezin SC (Mz) with the main Salynsk (Sl) phase, corresponding to the Eemian/Mikulino Interglacial, MIS 5e, and the younger Krutitsa soil (Kr) tentatively correlated with substage 5c; Kamenka SC (Km) with the main phase correlated with the MIS 7 interglacial; Inzhavino paleosoil (In), with the main phase probably correlated with the MIS 9 interglacial; and Vorona SC (Vr), with the main phase probably correlated with the MIS 11 interglacial. The dating of paleosoils older than Mezin SC is hypothetical and based on the general glacial-interglacial stratigraphy of the East European Plain, on paleomagnetic data and on fossil pollen and faunal remains from loess and soils, as well as from underlying lagoon-alluvial deposits [31,32,36].…”

The Late Quaternary Evolution of the Upper Reaches of Fluvial Systems in the Southern East European Plain

Networks of dry valleys (or balkas) and hollows in the upper reaches of fluvial basins in extraglacial areas in the Penultimate Glaciation (Marine Isotope Stage 6—MIS 6) regions of the East European Plain demonstrate clear incision/aggradation rhythms corresponding to global glacial/interglacial climate cycles. The first phase of each incision/aggradation rhythm began after the global glacial maximum and was characterized by a cool and humid climate, permafrost and sparse vegetation, when high surface runoff and active linear erosion formed a dense network of gullies. The second phase occurred at the glacial–interglacial transition and the subsequent interglacial period with its warm and humid climate and dense vegetation. This phase was distinguished by the partial filling of fluvial forms with slopewash deposits, the transformation of gullies into dry valleys (balkas) and the subsequent stabilization of fluvial forms marked by the formation of mature soils on the sides and bottoms of balkas. The third phase of the rapid accumulation of balkas developed during the cold and dry part of the next glacial epoch, resulting in the balkas becoming shallow hollows filled in with sediments. The last full incision/aggradation rhythm occurred in the late MIS 6 to mid-MIS 2. The erosion network formed during the late MIS 6 was almost completely filled by mid-MIS 2, and its manifestation in the modern topography is limited to a network of shallow hollows in the upper parts of the fluvial systems. The modern (incomplete) incision/aggradation rhythm began in the late MIS 2 and caused the formation of the modern erosion landscape in the upper reaches of fluvial systems. This rhythm is now in the stabilization phase, and the main accumulation phase of this rhythm is still far in the future.
