According to the results of generalization and analysis of paleopedological and palynological research of Eopleistocene - Lower Neopleistocene deposits of Ukraine the lithological and palynological characteristics of Eopleistocene - Lower Neopleistocene climatolitеs are presented. Lithological characteristics of the climatolites for each major tectonic region of Ukraine (Donetsk folded structure, Ukrainian Shield, Dnieper-Donets depression, Black Sea coastal depression, Volyn-Podolian Plate) are determined. Peculiarities of distribution of Eopleistocene - Lower Neopleistocene sediments within these regions are described. By the results of palynological research of 16 sections located within all modern vegetation zones (forest, forest-steppe and steppe) of Ukraine the nine spore-pollen complexes Eopleistocene−Lower Neopleistocene deposits of plain part of Ukraine are determined.For each climatolite the taxonomic composition of spore-pollen complexes, their type (forest, forest-steppe or steppe) and specific taxa are established. Peculiarities of the taxonomic composition of complexes of different age were traced. Subcomplexes are distinguished within in the composition of the complexes. These subcomplexes correspond to the soils of separate stages of soil formation and loessal interbeds of low thickness. Regularities of subcomplexes changes in complex of each climatolites are individual and are also a basis for stratification and correlation of the deposits and reason for reconstruction vegetation development phases and subphases. Based on the data obtained, the changes and additions to the modified Stratigraphic Scheme of Quaternary deposits of Ukraine are proposed. On the basis of complex palynological and palaeopedological studies, the inclusion of the Shyrokinsky climatolith in the Eopleistocene are justified. A new approach to representation of paleobotanical materials are proposed. The palynological ground of the Eopleistocene and Lower Neoplestocene climatolits to the modified Stratigraphic Scheme of Quaternary deposits of Ukraine has been made.  ER -
