Abstract
The evolution of vegetation in the Lotus Lake basin in the Middle Pleistocene has been studied. Six phases of paleovegetation evolution based on palynological data have been identified. It has been established that in warm epochs correlating with MIS 11, 9 and 7 in the Lotus Lake Basin were dominated by broad-leaved and coniferous forests with a diverse species composition. Under cooling in MIS 10, the distribution of coniferous-small-leaved forests with the participation of shrubby birch increased. In MIS 8 and 6, the main type of vegetation was represented by coniferous-small-leaved forests with the dominance of pine, birch, spruce and the participation of elm and oak.
