Abstract

Abstract. The presented study aims to investigate the paleoenvironmental conditions of Lake Shnitkino in Tver Region (northwestern European Russia). Two sediment cores from the lake bottom were obtained and analyzed using lithological and paleobotanic methods. The Holocene landscape and climatic characteristics of the lake basin are reconstructed. Four stages of lake evolution were inferred: 1) Younger Dryas/Preboreal transition, 2) Boreal, 3) Middle-Late Holocene, and 4) Recent time.
