Lateglacial vegetation dynamics in the eastern Baltic region between 14,500 and 11,400 cal yr BP: A complete record since the Bølling (GI-1e) to the Holocene

► Unambiguous vegetation record since Bølling warming from NE Europe since 14,550 cal yr BP. ► Multiproxy evidence of regional and local vegetation responses to Lateglacial climate. ► New method applying corroded pollen and macrofossil data for Lateglacial vegetation signal. ► Evidence of rapid establishment of Lateglacial birch, pine, spruce and aspen forests. ► Climate sensitivity of terrestrial vs. aquatic evidence of NE European biota.
