High-resolution proxy record of the environmental response to climatic variations during transition MIS3/MIS2 and MIS2 in Central Europe: The loess-paleosol sequence of Katymár brickyard (Hungary)

“…14-17 °C), but the presence of hygrophilous and shade-loving elements assume increased humidity during the deposition of these layers. The higher humidity during the colder periods could refer the increased vegetation cover, not only the increased forest areas, but also long-grass steppe or well-developed shrub stratum (Frömming, 1954).…”

“…Since mollusc species are only active in their growing season (approx. the vegetation season) and became anabiotic during the rest of the year (Frömming, 1954), concluding the annual mean temperature just from the snail fauna composition is scientifically not established (Sümegi, 1989(Sümegi, , 19962007;Sümegi and Krolopp, 2002), but were employed in some articles (Schatz et al, 2014(Schatz et al, , 2015. To prove annual mean temperatures in MIS2 stage using data from Hungarian meteorological stations (Schatz et al, 2014(Schatz et al, , 2015, or data from the malacothermometer, which only provides July mean temperatures (Schatz et al, 2015).…”

“…The exposition settings of a sequence are quite important i.e. the direction and intensity of insolation managing the local environmental conditions, so the speciescomposition of Pleistocene snail fauna (Frömming, 1954;Ložek, 1964).…”
