Understanding the history and regional singularities of human impact on vegetation is key to developing strategies for sustainable ecosystem management. In this study, fossil modern pollen datasets from China are employed investigate temporal changes in composition, analogue quality, diversity during Holocene. Anthropogenic disturbance vegetation's responses also assessed. Results reveal that assemblages non-forest communities fail provide evidence western part (annual precipitation less than 400 mm and/or elevation more 3000 m.a.s.l.), as inferred stable quality analogues, principal components, species throughout For eastern China, proportion spectra with good analogues increases ca. 50% 80% last 2 millennia, indicating an enhanced intensity anthropogenic vegetation. This has caused become taxonomically diverse over space (reduced abundances arboreal taxa increased herbaceous taxa), highlighting a reduced south-north differentiation divergence past between regions China. We recommend care taken when basing development management region 2000 years, since humans have significantly disturbed period.

It is evident that the origin, development, and expansion of agriculture animal husbandry during Neolithic Bronze Age periods across Eurasia facilitated increase world population emergence ancient civilizations, as well altering human livelihoods, especially in East Asia. However, different areas China have histories terms development extensive settlement period, spatial differences human–environment interaction are not yet understood. Here, we review up-to-date results radiocarbon dating, archaeobotanical, zooarchaeological analysis from sites China, along with high-resolution paleoclimatic records, to explore spatiotemporal variation its relationship climate change period 10,000–2200 BP. The suggest intensities northern Asia Monsoon Region south were relatively low 10,000–6500 BP, a small peak ∼8000–7500 evidently increased since ∼6500 whereas farming groups began settle intensively on Tibetan Plateau inland arid region ∼5200 BP ∼4000 respectively. intensification was primarily induced by agricultural prehistoric Eurasia; may influenced hydrothermal vegetation conditions for crop cultivation livestock production. asynchronous intensive settlements resulted impact activities environments surrounding them shedding light evolution human–land periods.
