Overview

Analysis of mollusc-bearing deposits reveals climate shifts in the northern Carpathian foreland, indicating significant environmental transformations.

Key Points

  • Mollusc-bearing deposits from Smoleń III provide insights into climate and habitat changes over 14,000 years.
  • The sequence shows diverse malacofauna indicative of past climatic conditions from cool, dry phases to warm, humid environments.
  • The study highlights climate-induced disturbances in woodland ecosystems around 8200 cal BP, affecting malacological communities.
  • Long-term data from the site enables comparison with other cave deposits in the northern Carpathians, supporting broader palynological research.
