ZAPIS ZMIAN ŚRODOWISKOWYCH W OSADACH ZAGŁĘBIENIA KRASOWEGO ŁYKAWE DOŁY NA WYŻYNIE MAŁOPOLSKIEJ
RECORD OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN THE SEDIMENTS OF THE ŁYKAWE DOŁY KARST DEPRESSION ON THE MAŁOPOLSKA UPLAND

Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the results of physicochemical analysis and pollen analysis of the Łykawe Doły site locatedin a drainless depression with karst genesis. The site is located directly adjacent to the western border of the Małopolska Upland,where under a thin layer of Quaternary sediments there are carbonate rocks undergoing karstification. The aim of the work wasto reconstruct changes in the plant cover in the immediate vicinity of the depression and the changes taking place in the depres-sion itself. The dating and palynological analysis showed that the depression of covered karst began to fill with biogenic sedi-ments in the Subboreal period, and its development also took place in the Sub-Atlantic period. Throughout the entire time thatthe depression was filling with sediments, a peatbog existed within it.
