The pro file of silty sed i ments in T³umaczów was the sub ject of de tailed lithological and malacological anal y ses. Abun dant malacofauna rep re sented by typ i cal loess spe cies were found in the sed i ments. The vari abil ity of the spe cies com po si tion and eco log i cal struc ture of fau nal as sem blages pro vided the ba sis for the re con struc tion of the sed i men tary en vi ron ment and char ac ter is tics of the cli ma tic con di tions that pre vailed dur ing the de po si tion of the sed i ments. The re sults of anal y ses indi cate that the de scribed sed i ments be long to the youn gest loess se ries re lated to the Weichselian Up per Pleniglacial (MIS-2). The se quence of mol lus can as sem blages shows con sid er able sim i lar i ties to the de scribed fau nas found in nu merous loess pro files in south ern Po land. It dif fers sub stan tially from the malacological se quences rec og nized in loess pro files in West ern and South ern Eu rope. This proves the sig nif i cant and cli mate-de ter mined di ver si fi ca tion of malacocoenoses dur ing the Weichselian Up per Pleniglacial (MIS-2) in Eu rope.

Late Pleistocene loess-palaeosol sequences are widespread in the Vojvodina region, with thicknesses reaching a maximum of about 20 m. Our investigations include more than 40 of these loess sections. Geochronology of the last glacial loess-palaeosol sequences, based on luminescence dating and amino acid racemisation, provides correlations between Upper Pleistocene loess-palaeosol sediments in Vojvodina and comparable deposits at other European localities. Sedimentary logs of magnetic susceptibility, grain-size measurements and carbonate content, combined with malacological evidence, indicate two main relatively cold and arid phases during the last glacial period, related to intensive accumulation of loess units L1L1 and L1L2, as well as many brief episodes of dry and windy climatic conditions, suggesting a possible relationship with cold events recorded in the North Atlantic region. Generally, late Pleistocene climate in the region was dry and relatively warm, compared with glacial period sites in central Europe, and was characterised by sharp differences between glacial and interglacial modes.New data and interpretations presented in this study emphasise the significance of loess-palaeosol sequences in Vojvodina for the reconstruction of the temporal and spatial evolution of late Pleistocene palaeoclimate in this part of Europe.

Environmental dynamics and luminescence chronology from the Orlovat loess-palaeosol sequence (Vojvodina, northern Serbia)

et al. 2014

The Carpathian Basin contains some of the best preserved loess deposits in Europe, including some of the continent's longest and best resolved climate records. Large areas of the basin have been intensively investigated in recent years, although deposits in the east remain largely unstudied, despite considerable regional variation in climate records. Here we discuss the sedimentary record exposed in the Orlovat brickyard using detailed litho‐ and pedo‐stratigraphic, enviromagnetic parameters and luminescence dating. The results show an atypical Late Pleistocene succession for the Carpathian Basin. Notably, the normally widespread pedocomplex V‐L1S1 is missing. This contrasts with other parts of the sequence, which appear highly resolved, such as the thicker pedocomplex V‐S1 and the detailed transitions between modern pedocomplexes V‐S0 and the last glacial loess unit V‐L1. The luminescence chronology demonstrates a lack of intensive pedogenesis during the Early Holocene and raises an important general question about the beginning of Holocene soil formation in the region. The later Holocene soil formation adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests more complex terrestrial responses of climate to global climate change. This evidence weakens the validity of previously generalized direct stratigraphic correlations between regional terrestrial environmental archives, and global marine and ice core records.
