The results of biostratigraphic analysis of bottom sediments of the Karas'e, Utinoe, Krugloe lakes as well as loose sediments of accumulative plains at the mouths of the Tumannaya and Poima rivers in the south of the Far East are presented. Natural conditions were recovered and periodicity of vegetation changes in the foothills of the East Manchurian Mountains and in the coastal plains of the Peter the Great Bay in the Middle and Late Holocene were reconstructed by the complex of data. The synchronicity of both the development of vegetation formations and changes of sedimentation conditions with global climatic variations were revealed. The first, Middle Holocene stage proceeded in the conditions of general planetary increase of average annual temperatures, accompanied by flooding of lowland plains of the coast of the Sea of Japan by sea waters. The distribution and species diversity of broad-leaved plants in spurs of the East Manchurian Mountains increased. In the Holocene Optimum, the polydominant forests w
