Abstract

New detailed palynological characteristics of the Holocene deposits from the section Karpylivka are provided. General composition of the fossil palynoflora was identified. It contains 103 taxa identified with precision of different ranks. Both natural and human-induced changes in the composition of the right bank Forest-Steppe zone vegetation of Ukraine are explained.
