Megafossils of Betulaceae from the Oligocene of Qaidam Basin and their paleoenvironmental and phytogeographic implications by Tao Yang, Jia-Hao Cai, Yan-Zhi Dai, Hong-Yu Chen, Lei Han, Li Zhang, Wei-Yu Liang, Xu-Jun Li, Wen-Jia Li, Jing-Yu Wu, San-Ping Xie, De-Fei Yan

“…This floristic linkage may have been facilitated by the continuous narrowing of the Turgai Strait and stronger westerlies, which transported moisture and provided favorable climatic conditions. Indeed, fossil plants collected from the Qaidam Basin suggest that during the Oligocene this region had warm and humid deciduous broad-leaf forest, which differs from the region’s modern vegetation and indicates that the Qaidam Basin may have been a suitable region for these plants to flourish and spread during the Oligocene.…”
