the site, with periods of increased humidity concurrent with increased coastal upwelling, both responding to lower global/regional temperatures; and 2) the Holocene, during which time high temperatures and potential evapotranspiration resulted in increased aridity and an expansion of the Desert Biome. ...
As drought-tolerant species such as Hippophae , Nitraria and Chenopodiaceae spread during MIS 2, the climate became arid. The Holocene is characterized by the dominance of steppe with mixed coniferous-broadleaved forests in the Greater Hinggan Range, and the desert biome retains high affinity scores...

Major grasslands of the Great Plains and adjacent Chihuahuan Desert span a vast region of high floristic diversity, and an array of temperature, humidity, and soil moisture regimes. The product is a variety ofgrassland vegetationtypes variously dominated by bunchgrasses or sod-forming species that ...
The monsoonal climate belts are flanked to the north by the arid Sahara and to the south by semi-arid (e.g. Namib desert) and savannah regions. The temperate northern and southern extrem- ities of the continent, which project into the belts of mid-latitude westerlies, experience westerly ...
Vegetation composition and cover has been most stable in the Albany Thicket biome while Azonal habitats across the region have changed the most. The Grassland biome has experienced a significant increase in the cover of grasses and tall shrubs and a significant decline in cover of dwarf shrubs....
and desert biome.The primary unit is vegetation region,having 14 ones in China.The secondary unit is vegetation zone and the tertiary unit is vegetation area.The above division scheme has fully absorbed the achievements of previous Chinese vegetation regionalization schemes.The borders of many ...
Vegetation classes of the Southern and Eastern Orange Free State (Republic of South Africa) and the highlands of Lesotho : conclusion A phytosociological survey undertaken in the southern and eastern Orange Free State (Grassland biome) as well as the Highlands of Lesotho resulted in a syn...

This study uses a biomization scheme modified from that of Gotanda et al. (2002), by including herbaceous taxa and non-arboreal biomes of the steppe, desert and tundra, to evaluate the influence of Modern-day pollen data Modern pollen spectra were compiled from the Japanese Pollen Publication...
