“…The con ti nen tal part of the catchment area was sub jected to ero sion at that time, in di cated by a de lay of flu vial re sponse to base level changes. Flu vial aggradation in MIS 4 and in ci sion in early MIS 3 has been reported also from other ar eas in the cen tral-east ern Eu rope (Starkel et al, 2015;Panin et al, 2017). This phase did not last long be cause the sed i men tary re cord of flu vial de pos its from MIS 3-2 has been found at many sites (e.g., Ro man et al, 2014;Zieliñski et al, 2015;Panin et al, 2017).…”

“…This similarity is associated with the common course of hydroclimatic changes over the entire East European Plain during two glacial-interglacial cycles, covering the time interval from MIS 6 to the Holocene (MIS 1). Three main events of high surface runoff are detected from the relief and lithology of the fluvial systems in the East European Plain: (1) at the end of MIS 6 [8,62], (2) at the end of MIS 2 [57,63,64] and (3) in the Late Holocene [65]. All of these events caused intensive erosion at the upper reaches of the fluvial systems both in the glaciated and non-glaciated parts of the plain.…”

The headwaters of fluvial systems on the East European Plain between the boundaries of the Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2) and MIS 6 glaciations evolved during the last 150,000 years. At least three main events of high surface runoff caused intensive erosion: at the end of MIS 6, at the end of MIS 2 and in the Middle Holocene. Erosion developed in the territory with variable resistance of geological substrate, from hard-to-erode tills to weak sandy deposits. All erosional features in moraines formed in the pre-Holocene time. Even relatively large forms, such as balkas (small dry valleys), have not yet reached concave longitudinal profiles. A general tendency of their development was deepening. Short episodes of incision occurring during climatic events with increased water flow alternated with long periods of stabilization. Sand-covered areas are most favorable for linear erosion. The gullies formed in the Middle Holocene developed concave longitudinal profiles. The diversity of catchment areas, initial slope inclinations and sediment properties causing their resistance to erosion led to greater differences in the relief features and evolution of the upper reaches of the fluvial systems within the MIS 6 glaciation area compared to the more uniform landscape conditions in the extraglacial regions.

“…However, this interpretation may be incomplete. For example, in Pokrovsky Log balka (site 11 in Figure 2), the incision phase occurred in the late MIS 3 [53], which is similar to the incision phase in the Seim River valley [18]. Therefore, the spatial coverage and magnitude of the MIS 3 incision phase in the upper reaches of fluvial systems remains a challenge for future research.…”

“…The evolution of the fluvial topography of the largest rivers of the East European Plain (Volga, Don and Dnieper) was described in detail in the fundamental works by Goretsky [12][13][14], Obedientova [15] and Grishchenko [16]. In recent decades, due to the progress in dating methods, the absolute geochronology of the Late Pleistocene incision/aggradation rhythms was established in river valleys over Central and East Europe [17,18].…”

Networks of dry valleys (or balkas) and hollows in the upper reaches of fluvial basins in extraglacial areas in the Penultimate Glaciation (Marine Isotope Stage 6—MIS 6) regions of the East European Plain demonstrate clear incision/aggradation rhythms corresponding to global glacial/interglacial climate cycles. The first phase of each incision/aggradation rhythm began after the global glacial maximum and was characterized by a cool and humid climate, permafrost and sparse vegetation, when high surface runoff and active linear erosion formed a dense network of gullies. The second phase occurred at the glacial–interglacial transition and the subsequent interglacial period with its warm and humid climate and dense vegetation. This phase was distinguished by the partial filling of fluvial forms with slopewash deposits, the transformation of gullies into dry valleys (balkas) and the subsequent stabilization of fluvial forms marked by the formation of mature soils on the sides and bottoms of balkas. The third phase of the rapid accumulation of balkas developed during the cold and dry part of the next glacial epoch, resulting in the balkas becoming shallow hollows filled in with sediments. The last full incision/aggradation rhythm occurred in the late MIS 6 to mid-MIS 2. The erosion network formed during the late MIS 6 was almost completely filled by mid-MIS 2, and its manifestation in the modern topography is limited to a network of shallow hollows in the upper parts of the fluvial systems. The modern (incomplete) incision/aggradation rhythm began in the late MIS 2 and caused the formation of the modern erosion landscape in the upper reaches of fluvial systems. This rhythm is now in the stabilization phase, and the main accumulation phase of this rhythm is still far in the future.
