“…These taxa, including Carpinus (hornbeam), Carya (hickory), Corylus (hazel), Juglans (walnut), Pterocarya (wingnut), deciduous Quercus (oak), Tilia (lime), Ulmus (elm), and Tsuga (hemlock), represent warmer vegetation types (i.e., cool conifer forest, cool mixed forest and temperate deciduous forest) that did not grow in the northern and northeastern parts of Asia under the extremely cold and continental climate conditions of the late Quaternary, but possibly occurred in the region close to Lake El'gygytgyn during the earlier, much warmer than present intervals . In order to consider the whole range of the Lake El'gygytgyn pollen taxa and less continental boreal and temperate forest biomes that appear in the modern vegetation of the southern Russian Far East (e.g., Mokhova et al, 2009), northern Japan (e.g., Takahara et al, 2010 and China (e.g., Yu et al, 1998), the biome-taxon matrix applied here (Table 1) was extended using the published matrixes tested with the surface modern pollen data from the respective regions of Asia Mokhova et al, 2009;Tarasov et al, 2011).…”

“…Unlike MIS 5e, there is evidence that the GIS may have been reduced in size (Raymo and Mitrovica, 2012;Willerslev et al, 2007), with lush boreal forest covering most of southern Greenland (de Vernal and Hillaire-Marcel, 2008). Particularly warm conditions are also suggested by pollen records analyzed from Lake Biwa (Tarasov et al, 2011), located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Likewise, a study from Lake Baikal also indicates warmer than modern temperatures, with a "conifer optimum" suggesting warmer conditions and less aridity, perhaps influenced by higher sea levels and reduced continentality (Prokopenko et al, 2010).…”

Abstract. Until now, the lack of time-continuous, terrestrial paleoenvironmental data from the Pleistocene Arctic has made model simulations of past interglacials difficult to assess. Here, we compare climate simulations of four warm interglacials at Marine Isotope Stages (MISs) 1 (9 ka), 5e (127 ka), 11c (409 ka) and 31 (1072 ka) with new proxy climate data recovered from Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia. Climate reconstructions of the mean temperature of the warmest month (MTWM) indicate conditions up to 0.4, 2.1, 0.5 and 3.1 • C warmer than today during MIS 1, 5e, 11c and 31, respectively. While the climate model captures much of the observed warming during each interglacial, largely in response to boreal summer (JJA) orbital forcing, the extraordinary warmth of MIS 11c compared to the other interglacials in the Lake El'gygytgyn temperature proxy reconstructions remains difficult to explain. To deconvolve the contribution of multiple influences on interglacial warming at Lake El'gygytgyn, we isolated the influence of vegetation, sea ice and circum-Arctic land ice feedbacks on the modeled climate of the Beringian interior. Simulations accounting for climate-vegetation-land-surface feedbacks during all four interglacials show expanding boreal forest cover with increasing summer insolation intensity. A deglaciated Greenland is shown to have a minimal effect on northeast Asian temperature during the warmth of stages 11c and 31 (Melles et al., 2012). A prescribed enhancement of oceanic heat transport into the Arctic Ocean does have some effect on Lake El'gygytgyn's regional climate, but the exceptional warmth of MIS l1c remains enigmatic compared to the modest orbital and greenhouse gas forcing during that interglacial.

“…Pollen-based reconstructions are among the most numerous during the last few decades, resulting in a number of articles concerning past vegetation or biome dynamics and its climatic and human-impact implications (e.g. Nakagawa et al, 2002Nakagawa et al, , 2005Gotanda et al, 2002Gotanda et al, , 2008Igarashi et al, 2011;Tarasov et al, 2011;Hase et al, 2012;Igarashi, 2013;Leipe et al, 2013;Kigoshi et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tRebun Island is a key research area for the Baikal-Hokkaido Archaeology Project to better understand the dynamics of the Neolithic hunter-gatherers in the NW Pacific region. Hence, the ca. 19.5 m sediment core RK12 spanning the last ca. 16.6 cal. kyr BP was obtained from Lake Kushu. Our aim is to test its potential as a high-resolution multi-proxy archive. Here, we used diatoms to investigate the modern ecosystem of Lake Kushu and its surrounding area on Rebun Island and of Hime-numa Pond on Rishiri Island and selected core samples for comparison. Modern diatom and stable isotope analyses show well-mixed freshwater bodies with eutrophic, alkaline conditions. The fossil diatom and geochemical sediment analyses display three phases that represent major changes in the lake development: (i) a marshy phase (ca. 16.6-10 cal. kyr BP); (ii) a brackish water lagoon phase (ca. 10-6.6 cal. kyr BP); and (iii) a freshwater lake phase (since ca. 6.6 cal. kyr BP). This shows the major role of the post-glacial climate amelioration, global sea-level rise and marine transgression in the development of this landscape. Further analyses will provide a palaeolimnological record at (sub-)decadal resolution that will facilitate the interpretation of the hunter-gatherer dynamics.
