Abstract

Research histories of the Tertiary/Quaternary boundary in central Europe and central Japan were reviewed based on floral and vegetation changes since the late Neogene, and some stages of major changes were detected in connection with the climatic changes indicated in marine oxygen isotope curves. Major stages in both central Europe and Japan are stages in that modes of glacial and interglacial cycles changed and glacial stages became colder. Major vegetation change characterizing Quaternary glacial stages occurred during the Praetiglian in the earliest Quaternary in central Europe. In Kinki district in central Japan, extinction of Tertiary floral elements concentrates in the stages ca. 3.3-2.6 Ma, ca. 1.2-0.9 Ma, and ca. 0.5 Ma-20 ka ; and plant macrofossil assemblages characterizing a Quaternary glacial stage occur ca. 1.7 Ma. Plio-Pleistocene plant extinction in and around central Japan is attributed not only to climatic deterioration but also to eustatic and geomorphological changes.
