Climatic and environmental changes during the last millennium in the Bükk Mts. (NE Hungary) from a stalagmite record

This paper presents the high-resolution stable isotope and trace element records of a stalagmite from Hungary (Kiskőhat Shaft, Bukk Mts.). Based on the variation of the isotopic and chemical composition of the carbonate deposit along the growth direction changes in temperature and precipitation amount are assumed. Our first results on the younger part (ca. 1100-years-old record) of the deposit deposit revealed a number of paleoenvironmental features. We interpreted the changes in proxy data from this speleothem as a result of complex changes in the environmental parameters:
