We present a pollen‐based precipitation reconstruction and multi‐proxy records from a 485‐
cm‐long sequence from a sediment core from Xingyun Lake, Yunnan Plateau, south‐west …

Pollen accumulation rates (PAR) from late Quaternary deposits can provide direct estimates
of past plant abundance. They are influenced by lake internal processes and therefore rarely …

The old paradigm that Amazonia's tropical ecosystems prevented cultural development
beyond small-scale shifting agricultural economies, that had little environmental impact, no …

Abstract We obtained a 9.74-m-long sediment core (XY08A) from Xingyun Lake in central
Yunnan Province, southwest China, and used AMS radiocarbon dating of terrestrial plant …

Vegetational response to climatic change involves processes of population and community
dynamics within local stands, which scale up to landscape-level changes in vegetation …

This paper presents an assessment of Holocene tree cover densities and forest disturbance
in European Russia using the best-modern-analogue (BMA) technique of quantitative …

Assessment of biodiversity in a changing world is a key issue and studies on the processes
and factors influencing its history at relevant time scales are needed. In this study, we …

Pleistocene biogeography of conifer species is poorly known in much of western North
America. We conducted morphological studies on 201 conifer cones and cone fragments …

This paper presents an assessment of Holocene tree cover densities and forest disturbance
in European Russia using the best-modern-analogue (BMA) technique of quantitative …

The geographic variation of taxonomic richness may be directly determined by climate
through contemporaneous/ecological processes, versus other (eg, historical/evolutionary …
