Abstract
Palynological data obtained from sediments that include the first find of a tusk fragment of the Trogontherii elephant (Mammuthus trogontherii) in Primorskii krai allowed us to reconstruct its living environment in the Middle Pleistocene. The reconstructed plant formations indicate warmer and drier climatic conditions during the existence of Mammuthus trogontherii in the southern part of the Russian Far East than the modern conditions. The ecosystems of the region had a more complex structure. Nemoral plants were more widely represented in them. Mesophilic pine–spruce forests with broadleaf trees and larch–birch sparse forests were the main feature of landscapes. Shrubby birch and alder thickets, sparse larch-birch forests, and sphagnum mires occupied plains and lakeshores.
期刊介绍：
Doklady Earth Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in Earth science of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
