ABSTRACT
Late Glacial (since Oldest Dryas) and Holocene (to Subatlantic) changes of vegetation at the Węgliny
site (south-west Poland) are reconstructed based mainly on pollen analysis of five cores from the palaeobasin
(anaerobic sediments). The chronology of the described events is based on palynological comparison with the Lubsza
Plain environs, based on LPAZs from several published pollen diagrams on 14C data, and multiple cryptotephra
levels determined in the Węgliny profiles. The Węgliny record integrates well into the north European Holocene
and Late Glacial biostratigraphic framework. The Węgliny site is the next (fourth) locality in Poland where the
Laacher See Tephra (LST) horizon within the Allerød chronozone was identified.
