Palaeovegetation of China: a pollen data-based synthesis for the mid-Holocene and last glacial maximum
International audience Pollen data from China for 6000 and 18,000 C-14 yr BP Were compiled and used to reconstruct palaeovegetation patterns, using complete taxon lists where possible and a biomization procedure that entailed the assignment of 645 pollen taxa to plant functional types. A set of 658...
