Abstract

This commentary addresses the palaeogeographical and stratigraphic interpretations of Pleistocene deposits in the Middle Dnieper Valley as presented by Popova et al. (2024a). The authors proposed a revision of the stratigraphy in this region based on biochronological analyses and vertebrate taphocenoses, highlighting potential changes in the correlation of key sedimentary units. This approach provides intriguing insights into local deglaciation and postglacial processes; however, certain aspects of the applied methodology and data interpretation require further elaboration. The commentary draws attention to challenges related to the limited availability of SDQ index data for the m1 teeth of the genus Arvicola, which may affect the precision of the correlations. Additionally, we emphasise the necessity of incorporating more detailed lithological analyses to complement the proposed stratigraphic conclusions. Assigning key sedimentary units to global chronostratigraphic frameworks, in some cases, necessitates a stronger consideration of regional correlations based on available palaeopedological and malacological data from neighbouring areas. The commentary underscores the importance of integrated, multidisciplinary research methods that can significantly enhance our understanding of the stratigraphy and palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Middle Dnieper Valley and Eastern Europe as a whole.

中第聂伯河更新世沉积地层和古生物学解释的再评估:对Popova等人(2024)的评论
本文论述了Popova等人(2024a)对中第聂伯河流域更新世沉积物的古地理和地层学解释。作者在生物年代学分析和脊椎动物地层学的基础上,提出了该地区地层学的修正,强调了关键沉积单元对比的潜在变化。这种方法为当地的冰川消融和冰川后过程提供了有趣的见解;但是,所采用的方法和数据解释的某些方面需要进一步阐述。评论提请注意与Arvicola属m1牙齿的SDQ指数数据有限可用性相关的挑战,这可能会影响相关性的精度。此外,我们强调有必要结合更详细的岩性分析来补充所提出的地层结论。在某些情况下,将关键沉积单元分配给全球年代地层格架,需要更充分地考虑基于邻近地区现有的古河床学和湖湖学数据的区域相关性。该评论强调了综合、多学科研究方法的重要性,这些方法可以显著提高我们对中第聂伯河流域和整个东欧的地层学和古环境演化的理解。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Quaternary Science publishes original papers on any field of Quaternary research, and aims to promote a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of the earth''s history during the last 2.58 million years. Papers from a wide range of disciplines appear in JQS including, for example, Archaeology, Botany, Climatology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Glaciology, Limnology, Oceanography, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Palaeontology, Soil Science and Zoology. The journal particularly welcomes papers reporting the results of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research which are of wide international interest to Quaternary scientists. Short communications and correspondence relating to views and information contained in JQS may also be considered for publication.
