Abstract
Quaternary loess-like deposits occur in the Southern Ural region. The loess-like deposits attributed to the Upper Neopleistocene (Kudashevo horizon) are the most widespread and comprehensively studied. Pollen spectra studied in the loess-like Kudashev (late Valdai) deposits suggest dominance of meadow-steppe communities with various herbs, Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae; there existed also forest-steppes with Alnus, Betula and Pinus.
