AB - Lowland forests benefiting from groundwater availability are important ecosystems in Central Europe, both from ecological and economic perspectives. Besides a great reduction in their extent in the historical times and further shifts in the land use and water management regimes intensified during the industrial era, continuing changes in the groundwater and overall hydro-climatic conditions can pose significant challenges to them. Although tree-ring analyses serve as widely used tools to assess the climatic impact on tree growth and vitality, few studies have attempted to investigate the effects of subsurface hydrology on interannual fluctuations in xylem production. In this study, we compared the tree-ring width series of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) from a forested area in southwestern Hungary with the time series of monthly groundwater depth and climatic variables over the period of 1920–2017 with a specific focus on 1961–2017. The radial growth of the studied trees showed the strongest relationship with late winter and early spring groundwater and drought conditions preceding the growing season, differing from the commonly reported climatic signals marked by early summer meteorological conditions of the vegetation season. The results suggest that the groundwater recharge during the dormant period preceding the vegetation season and the groundwater levels in early spring were among the key limiting factors on tree growth in the study area. In the growing years starting with a sufficiently high groundwater table, even scarce summer precipitation did not seem to limit radial growth drastically. However, unfavorable shifts in climatic conditions during the past few decades and the associated uncertainties in the future groundwater regime imply that additional active measures aimed at maintaining and restoring groundwater conditions may well be highly beneficial for sustaining groundwater-dependent forest ecosystems and their productivity.

Its shallow water and young soft sediments together allow to carry out ultra-high resolution reflection seismic surveys to investigate shallow tectonic structures and near surface stratigraphy at depth of ca. 0–30 m. To document neotectonics of the eastern lake basin and its onshore surroundings to the East, we have integrated new ultra-high-resolution seismic-reflection data with deeper penetrating multichannel lake and land seismic profiles, regional geological, geophysical and seismicity data, and geomorphological observations. Combined use of these different data sets provided an opportunity to understand better, how these different types and scales of structural features are linked. In our study area, late middle to late Miocene formations compose a deepening than shallowing sedimentary cycle from terrestrial clastic through offshore marl and deltaic sequence filling up the basin between ca. 8.6 to 7.5 Ma. The deltaic sequence is unconformably overlain by erosional remnants of late Pleistocene fluvial deposits and a mantle of latest Pleistocene to Holocene lake mud. Post-early Miocene deformation history involved two phases; a latest middle to early late Miocene transtension and a dominantly strike-slip regime with locally transpressional or transtensional character. The latter neotectonic phase reactivated the earlier faults and resulted in the propagation of 4 major fault zones across the complete late Miocene sequence. The resulting young faults show segmented geometry, stepovers, and connecting splays. The deformation also induced the modest but penetrative folding of the highest preserved Miocene deltaic sequence. The change in deformation style could happen during the late-stage of delta formation, at ca. 8 Ma although a slightly younger timing is not excluded. Faults imaged offshore apparently do not offset the Holocene lacustrine mud by discrete fractures, but the improved distribution map of recent seismicity and morphotectonic indices along their onshore continuations suggests that several segments of the fault pattern are still active, and might be capable of generating earthquakes. Integration of these different data provided an opportunity to understand better, how these different types and scales of structural features are linked and evolved one after another.

During the late Miocene Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), a unique oceanographic event where 10% of the salt in the world's ocean got deposited in the deep desiccated basins of the Mediterranean, the Paratethys Sea was connected to the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike the Mediterranean, no salt is known to have been deposited in the Paratethys region at this time, yet a similar mechanism of deep desiccation (with a water level drop of up to 2 km occurring at 5.6 Ma) has been proposed in the past to explain the late Miocene and Pliocene Paratethys basin evolution. Here, we review the basin evolution, stratigraphy and subsurface data of the four main Paratethyan sub basins to investigate the response to the Mediterranean Messinian event. We show that hypotheses of a Paratethys-wide desiccation synchronous to the Messinian Salinity Crisis climax at 5.6 Ma do not hold. Determinations of the magnitude of the sea level drop appear to have regularly been overestimated by speculative basin-to-margin interpretations, and often been disproven by increased age model resolution. In the Euxinian (Black Sea) Basin, the most recent estimates for the magnitude of sea level drop vary between 50 and 500 m, yet the timing is debated. Marginal outcrops in the Dacian Basin highlight multiple switches from shallow basinal to littoral and fluvial environments during the MSC interval, but no major water level drop coincides with the 5.6 Ma event. The Paleo-Danube deposits filling in the Pannonian Basin do not indicate any influence by the MSC and show prograding patterns into the deepwater lake Pannon. The dramatic expansion of the Paleo-Volga delta in the Caspian Sea is shown to be younger than the MSC, while estimates of the amount of water level drop vary widely due to the poorly understood contribution of tectonic processes. These changing perspectives and decreasing estimates of water level lowering are not surprising given the vast northern drainage of the Paratethys region. Precipitation and runoff from the Eurasian continent ensures a much more positive hydrological budget under isolated conditions than the vast negative hydrological budget of the Mediterranean Sea which requires constant compensation by infiowing oceanic waters.

In contrast to more northerly regions, where ventifacts and wind-sculpted landforms abound, only scarce signs of wind erosion have been reported here so far and this has been explained by the wind shadow effect of the Eastern Alps. Ventifacts mapped recently at numerous sites in the southern foreland of the Mecsek Mts. challenge this view. Together with some wind-blown sands they prove that conditions necessary for aeolian erosional processes were present in the Pleistocene and refer to areally widespread wind erosion. Multiple ventifact levels in the stratigraphic column and weakly developed ventifact morphologies indicate recurring but short wind erosion periods. The geometry of a reconstructed ventifact horizon indicates increasing elevation difference between the mountains and the foreland as well as intensifying valley incision in the late Quaternary, referring to ongoing vertical tectonic movements. The low number of ventifacts found does not necessarily prove a lack of aeolian erosion, it can also result from the inappropriateness of lithologies for ventifaction as well as from continuous erosion and burial due to tectonically induced increase in relief. © 2013 Gebr.

A revised terrace system was created by the compilation of novel terrace chronology and MIS data. Evolution of river terraces was not only governed by climatic factors but tectonic ones too. Incision rate of the Danube, and uplift rate of the Transdanubian Range (TR) was around 0.1-0.3 mm/a in the marginal zones of the TR (mostly based on the published U-series data) and was above 1 mm/a in its axial zone (based on He-3 exposure age dating of strath terraces). - According to a detailed geomorphological investigation of the different channel-planform morphologies in the Middle Tisza region and SajoHernad alluvial fan, six phases of river pattern change and four incision periods were detected during the last 20,000 years. - Wind polished rock surfaces dated by in situ produced cosmogenic Be-10 suggest that deflation was active in Hungary as early as 1.5 Ma ago. According to these exposure age data, Pleistocene denudation rate of the study area (Balaton Highland) was 40-80 m/Ma. - In sand covered areas the alternations of wind-blown layers and buried fossil soils provide information about climate and environment changes. In this study, periods of sand movement were mostly determined by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating methods and five aeolian sand accumulation periods were recognised during the last 25 000 years. - A new loess stratigraphical view was elaborated using the most recent dating methods (luminescence, AAR). The lower part of Mende Upper (MF1-2) pedokomplex is suggested to represent the last interglacial period (MIS 5e). During the last interglacial/glacial period (MIS 5 - MIS 2) several soil-forming periods existed but the preservation of these paleosoils is variable depending on their paleogeomorphological position.

Pleistocene glaciations are probably the most important periods of wind erosion. However, age of the wind-polished rock surfaces exposed on different geomorphic horizons has remained unknown so far, although they can provide time constraints of landscape evolution. Measurements of 10Be concentrations along depth profiles of exposed wind-facetted rocks allow deriving local denudation rates of 3.46-3.88 m/Ma and exposure ages as old as 1.5 Ma. Regional denudation, which occurred mainly via deflation of the loose sediments, varies between 40 and 80 m/Ma. This study provides evidence that aeolian erosion in continental, periglacial areas of Central Europe played an important role in Quaternary landscape modification. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
