Zazemňovanie gbelčianskej depresie počas holocénu vo svetle analýzy rastlinných makrozvyškov (profil Nová Vieska 2)

Year, pages: 2015, 85 - 103

In this paper we present the results of plant macroremains analysis from organic sediments of the Gbelce depression (lower Hron Hill land, SW Slovakia). The coring site (Nová Vieska 2) is situated on the floodplain of the Paríž Brook. The 283 cm deep profile represents a sedimentary record covering the whole period from the Late Glacial (9 674 cal BC) to the Modern Age. Based on plant macrofossils and 8 radiocarbon (AMS) dates, the hydroseral succession can be subdivided into 6 local analytical zones reflecting the changing composition of local marsh vegetation over time. Infilling of the Gbelce depression markedly accelerated from the Younger Atlantic – Early Subboreal period onward due to forest clearance and input of eroded fine particles from the adjacent slopes. Plant macroremains also reveal a pronounced change in water regime during the medieval period which helps to explain the historic occurrence of local „floating islands“ (reported from 18th Century). Plant macrofossils also enable us to track an early presence of humans in the adjoining landscape that dates back into the Eneolithic period (it is mainly indicated by numerous achenes of Cyperus fuscus and Ranunculus sceleratus). The paper brings new data on the development of the Parížske močiare Nature Reserve.
