Vegetation dynamics during last 35,000 years at a cold desert locale: preferential loss of forbs with increased aridity

Abstract Paleoecological records are an important source of data to better understand ecological responses to climate. To help understand vegetation–climate relationships in the Great Basin cold desert of North America, we analyzed 154 plant taxa from 52 fossil woodrat middens that spanned both an 8...
