“…The cladocerans (Branchiopoda, Cladocera) are the most abundant crustaceans preserved in lake sediments (Birks and Birks 1980). The group has been widely used as a proxy for reconstructing paleoclimates, as well as ecological and hydrological changes (Korhola and Rautio 2001;Mirosław-Grabowska et al 2015), because their ecological preferences are relatively well understood. The response of cladocerans to changes in temperature and humidity is significantly more rapid than that of other proxies, e.g., pollen (Birks and Ammann 2000).…”

ABSTRACT:Pawłowski, D. 2017. The usefulness of subfossil Cladocera remains in Younger Dryas climatic reconstructions in central Poland. Acta Geologica Polonica, 67 (4), 567-584. Warszawa.Cladoceran-based paleotemperature estimates for the Younger Dryas for ten sections of paleo-oxbow lakes, valley mires, and lacustrine sediments from central Poland are presented, and their potential usefulness to climatostratigraphy is described. Most of the changes observed in the cladoceran assemblages are responses to climate changes. The cladoceran-based temperature reconstructions reflect cold conditions during the Younger Dryas (YD) and allow a division of this period into two phases: an older colder phase, between 12,800 and 12,000 cal yrs BP, and a younger, warmer phase, between ca. 12,000 and 11,500 cal yrs BP. The geomorphological features of the study sites and local environmental forces are also taken into consideration. The cladoceran-inferred summer temperature estimates from all of the study sites correspond closely with the available climate reconstruction for the YD in central Europe.

This work presents results of a paleolimnological study focussed on subfossil Cladocera analysis and on different aspects of the evolution of the Solniki paleolake during the Eemian/Early Vistulian period. The study aimed at the reconstruction of the long-term dynamics of this paleoecosystem and at defining the conditions (e.g., water level, trophic status and water temperature) of the ancient lake. Paleolacustrine deposits of ca. 10 m thickness were discovered at Solniki during cartographic works for the Trześcianka sheet of the Detailed Geological Map of Poland. This archives recorded one full-interglacial sequence (Eemian Interglacial), one interstadial warming (Brørup) and two stadial coolings (Herning and Rederstall) stages, which were confirmed by palynological analyses. The subfossil Cladocera fauna from the Solniki paleolake consisted in 17 species belonging to the families Bosminidae, Chydoridae, Sididae and Daphniidae. Littoral species were dominant (52%), the most frequent of which were Alona affinis and Camptocercus rectirostris. The most abundance pelagic species were Eubosmina coregoni and Bosmina longirostris. The sediment species composition was quite similar to that of contemporary Central European lakes. The early and the late stages of Eemian Interglacial were likely the most favourable periods for the Cladocera development in the paleolake, in relation to higher water level, moderate water temperature and the mesotrophic state of water. A further ecologically favourable period was the Brørup Interstadial. The highest species richness, abundance, and diversity during the whole paleolake existence were recorded during these three periods. Surprisingly, the middle of the Middle Eemian Interglacial climate optimum appeared as an unfavourable period for the Cladocera growth as it was associated with decreasing water level and pronounced climate fluctuations. This sequence was also recorded by other studies of Eemian lakes in Central Europe.

“…In the Solniki pol len pro file, thanks to the high res o lu tion of pol len anal y sis, a two-step course of this cool ing is vis i ble (Kupryjanowicz, 2008). The results of Cladocera, mag netic sus cep ti bil ity and sta ble iso tope anal y ses from these same pro files sup port this course of climate change in the re gion (Kupryjanowicz et al, 2005;Miros³aw-Grabowska et al, 2015).
