Abstract
The lake sediments of Hasseldala Port in south-east Sweden provide an archive of local and regional environmental conditions similar to 14.5-9.5 ka BP (thousand years before present) and allow test ...
Highlights
The final stages of the last glacial period were, in the North Atlantic region, characterized by distinct and alternating warmer/colder and wetter/drier climate states before interglacial temperatures were attained (Bjorck et al, 1996; Lowe et al, 2008; Steffensen et al, 2008; Schenk et al, 2018)
Hässeldala Port (56◦16′N, 15◦01′E; 63 m a.s.l.) in Blekinge province, southeast Sweden is today a peat bog underlain by a distinct Lateglacial lake sediment sequence (Figures 1A–D) (Wohlfarth et al, 2017)
Hässeldala Port’s multi-proxy data set shows that the small lake basin formed >14.5 ka BP and pollen assemblages indicate that the early catchment vegetation was dominated by herbs, shrubs and dwarf-shrubs
Summary
The final stages of the last glacial period were, in the North Atlantic region, characterized by distinct and alternating warmer/colder and wetter/drier climate states before interglacial temperatures were attained (Bjorck et al, 1996; Lowe et al, 2008; Steffensen et al, 2008; Schenk et al, 2018). These marked climatic shifts caused a series of environmental changes that are registered in various geological archives (Blockley et al, 2012; Rasmussen et al, 2014). This again had an impact on the type of plants on and around the site
