A first chironomid-based summer temperature reconstruction (13-5 ka BP) around 49 degrees N in inland Europe compared with local lake development
Original language description
Temperature reconstructions based on biotic proxies are rare for inland Europe around 49 degrees N. We analysed lake deposits in the Vihorlat Mts in eastern Slovakia. Chironomid head capsules were used to reconstruct mean July temperature (T-July), other proxies (diatoms, green algae, pollen, geochemistry) were used to reconstruct local environmental changes, such as epilimnetic total phosphorus concentrations (TP), lake level changes and development of surrounding vegetation. During the Younger Dryas (YD), temperature fluctuated between 7 and 11 degrees C, that agree with other palaeoclimate records in Europe. The site was somewhat colder than expected from the general south-to-north YD temperature gradient within Europe, possibly because of north-facing exposition. The warmer phases of the YD were characterised by low water level or even complete lake desiccation. At the Late-Glacial/Holocene transition T-July steeply increased from from 11 to 15.5 degrees C - the highest T-July for entire sequence.
