Geologicheskii Vestnik

The paper presents the new data on the dynamic of vegetation and climate of the Southern Fore‑Urals from the second half of the Subboreal to the end the Subatlantic time. The palynological materials from archeological sites of the Kara-Abyz culture allowed us to characterize 7 climatic conditions. The climate in the interval from the end of the Subboreal to the beginning of the Subatlantic periodically changed from wet and warm to dry. In the middle and at the end of the Subatlantic the conditions become first wetter and cooler, later wet and warm, and then dry and cool.
