Abstract:
With the support of
14C dating,pollen analysis on Huangjiabu sections in Xuanhua Basin reflect the changes of palaeobotany and palaeoclimate. During 14000~9000aBP the vegetation in the Basin was conifer and broad-leaves forests dominated by
Pinus and grassland. In some high mountains,there was coniferous forest composed of
Abies and
Picea,the climate was cool and wet. In 9000~2400aBP the vegetation changed into grassland dominated by
Artemisia,while some deciduous broad-leaves trees such as
Salix,Ulmus,Quercus and
Betula also grown on some areas with suitable moisture and soil condition,the climate was warm and little dry. After 2400aBP the vegetation became desert grassland dominated by Chenopodiaceae,at the same time,the climate became cool and dry.
