The main features of vegetation and climate changes during Merkine Interglacial (Eemian) are discussed in the paper. Pollen data of about 34 sections were used in this study. Calculated climatic parameters indicate warmer and damper climate during the climatic optimum than at present in Lithuania. The mean year temperature fluctuated from +11 to +13 stopni C, mean January temperature from +1 to -1stopni C and mean July temperature - from +22 to +23 stopni C. Number of precipitation’s ranged from 1080 to 1100 mm. The natural vegetational changes took place during the climatic optimum, climatic changes played an insignificant role.
