The article summarizes the results of quantitative paleoclimatic reconstructions conducted using different methods based on the palinological records of the Upper Pleistocene deposits of the plain part of Ukraine. Quantitative climatic characteristics for the Riss-Wurm interglacial period, Dubno interstadial and the Last Glacial Maximum are provided. It is concluded that primary refugia of thermophilic and hydrophilic trees on the plain areas did not exist during the Last Glacial Maximum. Key words: paleoclimatic reconstructions, Late Pleistocene, Riss-Wurm interglacial period, Dubno interstadial.
