Impacts of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems are imperfectly constrained by ecosystem models and direct observations. Pervasive transformations occurred in response to warming associated climatic changes during the last glacial-to-interglacial transition, which was comparable magnitude projected for next century under high-emission scenarios. We reviewed 594 published paleoecological records examine compositional structural vegetation since glacial period project magnitudes...
Climate is an important control on biomass burning, but the sensitivity of fire to changes in temperature and moisture balance has not been quantified. We analyze sedimentary charcoal records show that regime over past 21,000 yrs are predictable from regional climates. Analyses paleo‐ data increases monotonically with peaks at intermediate levels, quantitatively most driver burning yrs. Given a similar relationship between climate drivers emerges analyses interannual variability shown by...
Abstract We present quantitative reconstructions of regional vegetation cover in north‐western Europe, western Europe north the Alps, and eastern for five time windows Holocene [around 6k, 3k, 0.5k, 0.2k, 0.05k calendar years before ( bp )] at a 1° × spatial scale with objective producing descriptions suitable climate modelling. The REVEALS model was applied on 636 pollen records from lakes bogs to reconstruct past 25 plant taxa grouped into 10 plant‐functional types three land‐cover...
Evidence for cultivated wheat at 4650 cal. yr BP, as part of a broadening agricultural-based society (4650—4300 BP), is presented from Xishanping in northwest China. This was established archaeobotanical evidence and radiocarbon dating. Crops SW Asia had therefore been adopted China about 2500 years earlier than previously thought, long before the `Silk Road' route known to be used. The data show that early infiltration blending agriculture involving rice, buckwheat, barley, millet occurred...
We report dozens of direct radiocarbon dates on charred grains from 22 archaeological sites the Neolithic and Bronze Ages in Hexi Corridor, northwest China, a key region for trans-Eurasian exchange prehistoric historical times. These include remains wheat barley domesticated southwest Asia broomcorn foxtail millet which originated north China. Together with previously published dates, we consider these newly obtained results context material cultures associated them, to explore an episode...
Abstract Aim This paper documents reconstructions of the vegetation patterns in Australia, Southeast Asia and Pacific (SEAPAC region) mid‐Holocene at last glacial maximum (LGM). Methods Vegetation were reconstructed from pollen data using an objective biomization scheme based on plant functional types. The was first tested 535 modern samples 377 sites, then applied unchanged to fossil dating 6000 ± 500 or 18,000 1000 14 C yr bp . Results 1. Tests surface sample sites showed that is capable...
