“…We deliberately target these and avoid using other Danubian non-plateau loess sequences, which are characterised by a greater influence of erosional or slope processes (e.g. Terhorst et al, 2014).…”

“…A redeposition of dead and fossil material from putative nearby stagnant water bodies is highly unlikely due to the presence of juvenile and adult valves in our samples (lack of sorting effects) and the high quality of preservation. The bleaching of horizons e and c was the result of redoximorphic processes under permanent waterlogging (Terhorst et al, 2014). Such horizons were commonly interpreted as tundra-gley soils, Gelic Gleysols, or Cryosols (Frechen, 1999;Antoine et al, 2009;Terhorst et al, 2014;Lehmkuhl et al, 2016).…”

Abstract:Recently exposed loess-palaeosol sequences in the northern Alpine foreland close to Bobingen (southern Germany) were investigated with a multi-proxy approach combining isotopic, geochemical, lithological, and micropalaeontological methods. Luminescence ages date the sections into the Middle and Upper Würmian periods corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages 3 and 2. A gleyic soil horizon at the base was dated to 45 ka and provided a palynoflora dominated by Poaceae, Cyperaceae, and Pinus, as well as frequent aquatic taxa. Lacustrine conditions prevailed after the gley formation until 30 ka, providing a comparatively diverse lacustrine fauna dominated by aquatic gastropods and the ostracod species Candona candida. At the transition to the Upper Würm, climatic conditions became harsh, indicated by accelerated deposition of more coarse-grained loess, organic geochemical indicators, and scarceness of biotic remains. Two tundra-gley horizons in the Upper Würm point to short phases of climatic amelioration with higher humidity also evidenced by reoccurrence of ostracod and aquatic gastropod remains. We propose that these climatic ameliorations were coincident with the Greenland interstadials 4 and 2.Published by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the Deutsche Quartärvereinigung (DEUQUA) e.V.

“…Both Χ and grain size distribution are commonly applied as indicators of weathering intensity (e.g. Buggle et al, 2009;Marković et al, 2008;Terhorst et al, 2014) but only magnetic susceptibility is directly linked to weathering and will therefore be used to evaluate the WIs in this study. Table 4 shows an overview of the correlation coefficients between the WIs and mass-specific magnetic susceptibility (Χ).…”
