Abstract Understanding the Cenozoic vegetation history of what is now Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau crucial for elucidating co‐evolutionary dynamics between plateau development, its environment, and organisms it hosts. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive analysis phytoliths within late Oligocene–Early Miocene lacustrine sedimentary section Lunpola Basin, central Plateau. The diverse phytolith morphotype assemblages indicate that Tibetan region mainly comprised mixed coniferous broad‐leaved forest. Grasses in understory primarily consisted Pooideae, distinguished by morphotypes such as rondel, crenate Stipa ‐type bilobate forms. Combined with previous work, infer riparian transitioned from humid subtropical forest, dominated woody plants during middle Eocene, to more seasonally arid open woodland containing abundant herbaceous before developing into cooler forest Miocene. growth retreat Tethys Ocean, together uplift Himalaya, contributed change.

Paleoenvironmental insights gleaned from geological history are profoundly important for the discovery and exploitation of mineral resources. In China’s Bohai Bay Basin, Kongdian Formation represents principal oil-bearing stratum Eocene Epoch. However, a comprehensive understanding its paleoenvironmental evolution stratigraphic division has been hindered by paucity paleontological data. To address this gap, three sedimentary cores were meticulously collected southern extremity Liaoxi Uplift within Bay. These underwent thorough sporopollen-algae analysis to elucidate their reconstruct associated conditions. The yielded identification distinct assemblages regional Formation: (1) assemblage Divisisporites longilaesuratus-Betulaepollenites-Tiliaepollenites microreticulatus is indicative lower submember Ek2; (2) Polypodiaceaesporites-Alnipollenites indicates upper (3) Pterisisporites undulatus-Taxodiaceaepollenites-Ephedripites corresponds Ek1. reflect significant evolutionary trajectory plant communities throughout Formation. Initially, there evergreen arbor-shrub mixed forests, which transitioned green algae-herb-evergreen broadleaved biota finally evolved into conifer-shrub forests. This botanical mirrors shifts in paleoclimate, experienced progression conditions high temperature humidity through phase warm, semi-humid environments eventually semi-arid
