Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the microbiomorphic soil profile of the swampy meadow. Phytoliths, spicules of sponges and Rhizopoda shells are abundant in the soil. There are spores of fungus and mosses, as well as zoogenic material. The change in the natural conditions of the object during the second half of the holocene was reconstructed based on the obtained data. Differences in the content of microbiomorphs in different horizons of the soil profile of the swampy meadow correspond to the general regional and local processes of climate and vegetation dynamics in Northern Kulunda and adjacent territories.
Highlights
Knowing, how the environment has evolved in the past, is important for assessing possible future changes
Phytoliths (Figures 1, 2D and 2G) silicon structures, which are formed in plant cells, are the basis of biogenic particles in the upper part of the microbiomorphic profile to the depth of 55 cm
Phytolith analysis revealed the dominance of reed phytoliths during the existence of the lake (Paradossky, 2019)
Summary
How the environment has evolved in the past, is important for assessing possible future changes. The processes of forest clearing and steppe formation of local territories, which are reconstructed on the basis of phytoliths analysis (Solomonova et al, 2016, 2017), are noted for the some pastoral crops on the territory of Northern Kulunda in the second half of the holocene. These processes were matched up the general trend of increasing aridity of the region, proven by palynological investigations of adjacent territories (Rudaya et al, 2012; Zhilich et al, 2016). The research group is the microbiomorphic profile of the swampy meadow
