AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Khotinskiĭ describes the history of Holocene vegetation in the former USSR from European Russia through Siberia, starting with the Alleröd period and concluding with the beginning of the Sub-Atlantic period (ca. 16,000-2500 BP). Using data from about a thousand pollen diagrams and seven hundred radiocarbon dates, Khotinskiĭ compiles pollen diagrams and vegetation maps used to describe the changes in tree species and nonarboreal pollen from the Pre-Boreal through Sub-Atlantic periods (ca. 10,300-750 BP) that reflect changes in the climate. Khotinskiĭ points out that there were unique vegetation zones in the past, as present-day vegetation zones shifted and formed assemblages that do not exist today; also attributable to distinctive climatic conditions in the past.
