Yuka Scientifics Studies | Part 2
Abstract: The vegetation, widespread during the life of a young female mammoth “Yuka”, about 34300 yr ago (GrA-53289) was reconstructed as a complex of phytocenoses confined to coastal water and floodplain habitats. The main pastures were herb-gramineous floodplain meadows. Here, floodplain shrub communities of birches and alder forests grew, the reservoir was of an lake or swamp, as indicated by the corresponding vegetation.In the presented work, a new method of reconstruction of specific paleophytocenoses is proposed, which makes it possible to take a fresh look at the nature of the vegetation cover of the Late Pleistocene of Yakutia.
