abstract = {The effects of climatic extremes on Alpine ecosystems, such
as in the last glacial period, are poorly understood. The
recently discovered Nesseltalgraben site is currently the
best dated and most complete high-resolution sedimentary
sequence in the northern Alps covering the Marine Isotope
Stage (MIS) 3 around 59-28 calibrated kiloyears before
present (ka cal BP). The MIS 3 is a period with frequent
climatic fluctuations known as Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles or
Greenland interstadials-stadials. Here, we present pollen
assemblages, bryophyte macrofossils, and stable isotopes
(δ2H, δ13C, δ18O) from the Nesseltalgraben to elucidate
palaeoenvironments and palaeoclimatic variability during
that period. In addition to bulk sedimentary cellulose, also
cellulose extracted from fossil wood, monocots, and
bryophytes was analysed isotopically. Among the terrestrial
pollen, Poaceae and arboreal pollen show an antithetic
behaviour reflecting interstadial-stadial variations.
Arboreal pollen are dominated by Pinus sylvestris-type, with
admixtures of Picea, Betula, Alnus, and Salix. The arboreal
pollen record exhibits several maxima indicating milder
climatic conditions tentatively assigned to Greenland
interstadials 17–14, 12/11, 8, and 6. During Heinrich
events 5 and 4, the arboreal pollen record shows distinct
minima underlining a severe impact of these events on
regional climate and vegetation. Bryophyte assemblages show
predominant wetland conditions at the site during the entire
MIS 3. The sudden occurrence of the bryophyte Drepanocladus
turgescens after 31.6 ka cal BP indicates a change from a
fen to a frequently drying wetland environment. This habitat
change is presumably linked to enhanced glaciofluvial action
caused by glaciers approaching the site. Carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen stable isotope records of bulk sedimentary
cellulose exhibit comparably stable conditions from 59 until
52 ka cal BP and increased values around 51 ka cal BP
followed by a period of almost absent cellulose until 39 ka
cal BP. Thereafter, and lasting until 30 ka cal BP, bulk
sedimentary cellulose isotope records (δ2H, δ13C, and
δ18O) reveal strongly fluctuating values. These isotope
variations are interpreted as variable mixtures between
terrestrial lignified plants and monocots on the one, and
wetland bryophyte sources on the other hand. A strong
negative isotope excursion in the bulk sedimentary and the
bryophyte cellulose records around 36.4 ka cal BP is
contemporaneous with maximum Cyperaceae pollen and best
explained by progressively waterlogged soils due to
permafrost. The rise in the bryophyte δ18O record
thereafter, accompanied by likewise increasing δ13C values,
most likely indicates an enhanced evaporation of source
waters.},
