Numerous studies of changes in the climate, vegetation and landscape responses of the
Tibetan Plateau (TP) during the Holocene have been published in recent decades …

Abstract With 450,000 km 2 Kobresia (syn. Carex) pygmaea dominated pastures in the
eastern Tibetan highlands are the world's largest pastoral alpine ecosystem forming a …

Summer temperatures on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) significantly affect stability of glaciers that
provide steady water resources to nearly half of the world population. However, lack of …

In an attempt to quantify Holocene anthropogenic land-cover change in temperate China,
we 1) applied the REVEALS model to estimate plant-cover change using 94 pollen records …

The numerical meta-analysis of 92 proxy records (72 sites) of moisture and/or temperature
change confirms earlier findings that the dominant trends of climatic evolution in monsoonal …

Abstract Projecting how the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall will change with
global warming is essential for human sustainability. Reconstructing Holocene climate can …

alkanes (δD wax) from an alpine lake sediment archive on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau …

Reconstructing past changes of the summer monsoon in southwestern China is key to
understanding the paleoclimatic dynamics of the Indian summer monsoon (southwest …

High-resolution pollen and charcoal records from Dianchi in central Yunnan Province,
southwestern China are presented in this study and reveal variations in vegetation, fire, lake …

Studies along elevational gradients worldwide usually find the highest plant taxa richness in
mid-elevation forest belts. Hence, an increase in upper elevation diversity is expected in the …
