FIGURE 1. Map of North Europe showing the locations of the study site in southern Finland (filled circle) and other late Quaternary palaeoclimate-data producing sites (open circles) mentioned in this study. Lake Iso Lehmälampi is the site of water level reconstructions based on subfossils of the chironomid midge and cladoceran water flea (Luoto, 2009; Nevalainen et al., 2011; Nevalainen and Luoto, 2012). Lit-1 and Lit-2 are tree-ring sites studied by Pukienė (1997) and Edvardsson et al. (2016), respectively.
