Abstract:

This table gathers the results of the biomization scheme, reconstructing biomes from pollen found at the TUSDB sites. The biomization method is given in Prentice et al. (1996) and the pollen type-to-plant functional type (PFT) and PFT-to-biome attribution follow the scheme given in Tarasov et al. (1998). The reconstructed biomes are Cold Deciduous Forest (CLDE); Cold Mixed Forest (CLMX); Cold Conifer Forest (COCO); Cold Desert (CODE); Cool Mixed Forest (COMX); Cold Steppe (COST); Hot Desert (HODE); Pioneer forest (PION); Taiga forest (TAIG); Temperate Deciduous Forest (TEDE); Tundra (TUND); Warm Mixed Forest (WAMX); Warm Steppe (WAST); Xerophytic Shrubland (XERO).
