Description :
The AA. present a model to explain the pattern of Holocene vegetational changes in the Rocky Mountains. The model is based on the understanding of : 1) the vegetational and climatic history of the Yellowstone region and the northern Rocky Mountains of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho; 2) paleoclimate simulations from general circulation models that incorporate changes in large-scale controls; and 3) present-day climatic regimes of the western United States.
