CARPFLORA AND MICROFAUNA IN THE DEPOSITS OF HIGH-MOUNTAIN LAKES IN SOUTHEAST ALTAI ARE CLIMATE INDICATORS OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE HOLOCENE
Abstract
The presence of fossil carpoflora, mollusks, and ostracods in lake sediments of the Altai Mountains was previously established in the low- and mid-mountain belts up to absolute elevations of 1750–1815 m. This allowed for increased reliability in determining the relative age of the host sediments and paleogeographic reconstructions. Until recently, at elevations above 2100 m, only fossil carpoflora from sediments in the upper reaches of the Chulyshman basin in the Bogoyash River valley was known.
