Glacial legacies on interglacial vegetation at the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition in NE Asia

Climate is broadly assumed to control vegetation, with vegetation lags thought to last no more than a few centuries. Here, based on the analysis of Lake El’gygytgyn pollen record, the authors show that vegetation-climate disequilibrium persisted for several millennia during the Plio-Pleistocene tran...
