Temporally separated pollen data track environmental changes in Northwestern Yunnan, Southwest China
Our study reveals the possible influence of climate change and human activities on vegetation, provides an easy-to-use field methodology to support rapid assessments of relatively short-term changes in biodiversity, and suggests a role for long-term comparative studies of surface soil samples in monitoring site-specific vegetation changes.
