Environmental studies based on analyses of fluvio-aeolian successions with paleosols in central Poland, forming the central part of the European Sand Belt, are presented. Paleogeographic reconstruction was based on high-resolution analyses of four sites using sedimentological and paleopedological methods as well as forty-four optically stimulated luminescence and fourteen radiocarbon dating measurements. Age-identified individual lithological and soil units were first correlated between sites, emphasizing the differences between them. The results were then correlated with Greenland ice-core stratigraphic units reflecting global environmental changes in the Late Pleniglacial and Lateglacial interstadial, thus ranging from GS-2.1a, through the GI-1 complex (seven subunits), to GS-1. Studies revealed considerable sensitivity of fluvio-aeolian succession to climate changes and oscillations. Climate ameliorations are recorded in fossil soil horizons developed beneath different types of vegetation cover. We detected that the climate cooling GI-1d (the Older Dryas) was not the main phase of dune formation as had been claimed earlier. It is postulated that dunes in the extraglacial zone were formed mainly in GI-1c2 (the Early Allerød). Preexisting dunes were transformed in GS-1 (the Younger Dryas) and in the Early Holocene, locally interrupted by soil formation.

提出了基于波兰中部古土壤的河流-风成层序分析的环境研究，形成了欧洲沙带的中心部分。古地理重建基于使用沉积学和古土壤学方法对四个地点进行的高分辨率分析，以及 44 次光激发发光和 14 次放射性碳测年测量。年龄确定的个体岩性和土壤单元首先在地点之间进行关联，强调它们之间的差异。然后将结果与格陵兰冰芯地层单元相关联，反映晚晚冰期和晚冰期间质的全球环境变化，因此范围从 GS-2.1a，通过 GI-1 复合体（七个亚基）到 GS-1。研究表明，河流-风成演替对气候变化和振荡具有相当大的敏感性。气候改善记录在不同类型植被覆盖下形成的化石土壤层中。我们检测到气候冷却 GI-1d（旧仙女木）并不是之前声称的沙丘形成的主要阶段。据推测，冰川外带的沙丘主要形成于 GI-1c2（早期 Allerød）。先前存在的沙丘在 GS-1（新仙女木期）和全新世早期被改造，局部被土壤形成打断。我们检测到气候冷却 GI-1d（旧仙女木）并不是之前声称的沙丘形成的主要阶段。据推测，冰川外带的沙丘主要形成于 GI-1c2（早期 Allerød）。先前存在的沙丘在 GS-1（新仙女木期）和全新世早期被改造，局部被土壤形成打断。我们检测到气候冷却 GI-1d（旧仙女木）并不是之前声称的沙丘形成的主要阶段。据推测，冰川外带的沙丘主要形成于 GI-1c2（早期 Allerød）。先前存在的沙丘在 GS-1（新仙女木期）和全新世早期被改造，局部被土壤形成打断。
