Vegetation and environment of Eastern China in the cold stages of the Quaternary

Auteur :

Description :
In the cold stages of the Quaternary, steppe vegetation was dominant over eastern China as a consequence of longterm aridity. In the South China floral region, subtropical coniferous forests extended widely over plains and hills. Many relic taxa of hydrophilic and/or thermophilic plants have survived in sanctuaries. The impact of cold climate in the Quaternary might be limited in severity and extent in eastern China.
