Abstract
The palaeoenvironment of three Early Pleistocene glacials in The Netherlands and Belgium are studied: the intra-Tiglian “Beerse glacial” and the Eburonian and Menapian cold stages. Climatic conditions are expressed by specific periglacial phenomena and by palaeobotanical data. The three cold periods are characterized by a nearly treeless tundra vegetation and a continuous or discontinuous permafrost. Mean summer temperatures are estimated around or slightly below 10°C, while mean annual temperatures were below −6 to −4°C.
