Antropogeniczna faza wydmotwórcza w środkowej Polsce

Anthropogenic phase of dune-forming processes in central Poland

Summary: The article is focused on the presentation of data on transformation of aeolian relief taking place in central Poland during the Holocene. By comparison with dune-forming processes by Dylikowa (?1958?), the author proposes to determine the last (?youngest?) one as the anthropogenic dune-forming phase. Chronologically, it covers Meso- and Neoholocene, and according to archaeological chronology - Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze and Iron Ages, until the present day. On the basis of the existing literature, the paper presents data on dune transformation and aeolian covers in central Poland in the given time. There were discussed aeolian deposits and landforms characteristic of the anthropogenic dune-forming phase in central Poland. Presented were textual characteristics of these deposits, the most common sedimentary structures, as well as abrasion of quartz grains in the aeolian sediments of the anthropogenic phase and some chemical characteristics of the material. Also characterized was the course of anthropogenic dune-forming phase in the last 8000 years with a few stages within it. Particular attention was paid to the relationships of aeolian processes with human activities, as well as fluctuations of climate during the Meso- and Neoholocene.
