Late Pleistocene vegetational history and ecosystem variability in the karst areas of Ukraine, based on palaeontological studies of cave deposits

Abstract

Biotic response to Late Pleistocene climate changes has been studied in four sections of clastic cave deposits in two areas of Ukraine: in the western Podillya-Bukovynian gypsum karst region and the southern Mountain-Crimean carbonate karst region. New data have been obtained in the Bukovynka and Emine-Bair-Khosar caves, previously studied
