中欧和东欧 (CEE) 的各个地区都存在过去气候变化和相关植被响应的记录。迄今为止，还没有对现有古记录进行连贯的综合。在一次专注于确定中东欧古记录的 INTIMATE 会议（罗马尼亚克卢日纳波卡）期间，会议决定通过向古社区提供过去 60-8 ka 的高质量气候和植被记录汇编来解决这一差距。该编译还应作为建模社区致力于实现 INTIMATE 项目目标以及数据模型相互比较研究的参考点。因此，本文汇编了中东欧这一时期过去气候和生物反应的最新、最佳可用定量和半定量记录。它首先介绍所使用的代理和存档。洞穴和黄土主要提供60-20ka区间的证据，而花粉记录提供晚冰期和全新世的主要信息来源。然后，它检查了从不同代理推断出的气候变化的时间和空间模式，从花粉记录推断出的植被响应的时间和空间幅度，并强调了代理和次区域之间的差异和相似性以及这种变化背后的可能机制。最后，它指出了代理和档案及其地理分布的弱点。这项练习还提供了一个反思该领域研究现状并确定未来关键领域和研究主题的机会。 (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Records of past climate variability and associated vegetation response exist in various regions throughout Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). To date, there has been no coherent synthesis of the existing palaeo-records. During an INTIMATE meeting (Cluj Napoca, Romania) focused on identifying CEE paleo-records, it was decided to address this gap by presenting the palaeo-community with a compilation of high-quality climatic and vegetation records for the past 60-8 ka. The compilation should also serve as a reference point for the use in the modelling community working towards the INTIMATE project goals, and in data-model inter-comparison studies. This paper is therefore a compilation of up to date, best available quantitative and semi-quantitative records of past climate and biotic response from CEE covering this period. It first presents the proxy and archive used. Speleothems and loess mainly provide the evidences available for the 60-20 ka interval, whereas pollen records provide the main source of information for the Lateglacial and Holocene. It then examines the temporal and spatial patterns of climate variability inferred from different proxies, the temporal and spatial magnitude of the vegetation responses inferred from pollen records and highlights differences and similarities between proxies and sub-regions and the possible mechanisms behind this variability. Finally, it identifies weakness in the proxies and archives and their geographical distribution. This exercise also provides an opportunity to reflect on the status of research in the area and to identify future critical areas and subjects of research. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
