ИСТИНА

New multi-proxy records of pollen, testate amoebae, and charcoal were used to reconstruct the vegetation dynamics in the boreal forest area of the southern part of Valdai Hills (the area of the Central Forest Biosphere Reserve) during the Holocene and to predict their possible future changes. We focused our study on the southern boundary of the boreal forest zone. Taking into account the modern trend of increases in global air temperature, forest communities in the area can be very sensitive to environmental changes.
