Abstract

A model for China biome reconstruction was deduced from 641 original pollen data of surface samples by biomazition procedure developed by Prentice et al. Fourteen biome types of China were recognised based on 31 plant fuctionooal types from 686 pollen types. The procedure successfully delineated the major vegetation types in China and, therefore, can provide an objective methord for China biome reconstruction of geological time, e.g. for 6 ka BP and 18 ka BP.
