Vegetation dynamics of riparian forest in central Europe during the late Eocene

Original language description

The Cenozoic basins in Germany (Weißelster) and the Czech Republic (Cheb, Sokolov and Most) have an extensive fossil record of riparian vegetation traceable from the middle Eocene to the early Miocene. Within this paper we focus on its evolution and gradual changes during a time interval of gradual global cooling. Herein we summarize results of investigations of several fossil floras of the Weißelster Basin that were conducted over the last decade and allocate them into the modern lithostratigraphic concept for central Germany. Previously published floras from this basin that come from an unambiguous lithostratigraphic position are revisited. For comparison the floras from Northern Bohemia are included. Our results show that the Zeitz floristic complex cannot be maintained in its original circumscription but needs a subdivision into three floristic stages based on immigration and disappearance of key vegetation elements. Stage 1, representing the type horizon and flora of the Zeitz floristic complex, is characterized by the presence of typical &apos;subtropical&apos; species persisting since the middle Eocene. In stage 2 thermophilous deciduous elements such as Platanus neptuni and Taxodium dubium as well as new Lauraceae immigrate into the regional vegetation. The stage 3 is typified by the disappearence of the old &apos;subtropical&apos; elements, whereas other evergreen warmtemperate or &apos;subtropical&apos; elements such as Eotrigonobalaus furcinervis and Quasisequoia couttsiae persist. They were probably able to withstand significant climatic changes during the Eocene-Oligocene transition. A massive immigration of broad-leaved deciduous elements prior to the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, known from the Northern Bohemian flora of Roudníky has not been recognized in the Weißelster Basin.
