The paleoenvironmental information derived from both sets of data is in general well correlated. The section presents a rather complete sequence of the last interglacial-glacial cycle. It includes eight units of the Ukrainian Stratigraphical Framework of the Pleistocene. Interglacial climatic optimum is registered by pollen succession of the Mikulino (Ecmian) type in the climax forest palcosols of Pryluky-Kaydaky pedocomplcx at the base of the sequence, above the Dnieper Glacial deposits. The coldest and most continental environment is recorded in the youngest loess. The soils of Upper Pryluky, Yytachiv and Dofinivka units are correlated with the Early Glacial and four Plcniglacial interstadials. Multiple environmental variations during the Upper Pleistocene recorded in the Stari Bezradychy sequence arc important for study of global climatic changes and interregional correlation. Tentative correlation with marine isotopic stages is proposed.}, type={Article}, title={Late Pleistocene vegetational and soil evolution at the Kiev loess plain as recorded in the Stari Bezradychy section, Ukraine}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121926/PDF-MASTER/4_STUDIA_VOL_17_2000_Gerasimenko_Late.pdf}, keywords={Pleistocene, paleosol, loess, pollen, Ukraine}, }
