The relationship between the chemical composition and lithology of Late Glacial and Holocene biogenic deposits of the Żabieniec mire (Central Poland)

Geochemical and plant macrofossil analyses of the Żabieniec mire deposits palaeoenvironmental changes they record past several thousand years constitute an important source for palaeogeographical reconstruction Polish Lowland. We describe phases basin’s development from final part Plenivistulian (MIS2), through Late Glacial entire Holocene, encompassing determined by both regional global factors in surrounding environment, habitat transformations limnogenic mire. The kettle-hole infill is only documented example Central Poland a succession biogenic exceeding 10 m thickness such setting. Deposition initially took place lake which led to shallowing that persisted until end Mesoholocene.
