Abstract

The paper presents the results of pollen and geological analyses from two interglacial lake at Wilczyn and Lipnica. Geological studies in the Podlasie region have shown that a genesis of some fossil lakes can partly be related to the neotectonic structures (Wilczyn). The genesis and the existence of the other ones was dependent mainly on a course of climate conditions (Lipnica). In the pollen diagrams local pollen zones typical for Mazovian Interglacial have been distinguished. The course of the interglacial plant succession with Holsteinian sea-level change has been compared. The change of water level and trophic conditions were discussed.
