Abstract

Allerodian soils (local name: Mendig soils) covered by Laacher See Tephra on the Middle Rhine river basin in Germany contain phytolith assemblages dominated by festucoid phytoliths originating from the Pooideae. Therefore, the Pooideae clearly dominated the grass flora around Laacher See Volcano during the Allerodian Interstadial about 13, 000 cal BP. This phytolith assemblage corresponds with the Mendig flora containing macrofossil Pooideae such as Festuca sp. found at the base of the Lower Laacher See Tephra.
