Abstract
In this work, we studied the course of climatic fluctuations at the beginning of the Preboreal period using multiproxy analyses (Chironomidae, pollen, diatoms, Cladocera, stable isotopes, macrocharcoal, microlithofacial) combined with varve chronology of sediments. The results showed a decrease in the mean July temperature and stronger continentalism followed by climate wetting at the start of the Preboreal period. This was reflected in the remodeling of the vegetation cover from birch forests to more open spaces with grass vegetation dominance, as well as that of the species composition of Cladocera and diatoms, and the high variability of isotopic composition. In addition, the results showed the impact of local conditions (fires and relict permafrost) on the amplification of environmental responses due to climate cooling. The environmental transformations presented here correspond temporally to the changes that are well documented in other parts of Europe as the Preboreal Oscillation.
