By integrating methods of palaeoecology, phylogeography and species distribution model, it reconstructs the glacial refugia in northern China, demonstrating that the species were located further north than previously assumed during the LGM. The postglacial dynamics of forest distribution included not only long-distance north-south migration but also local spread from LGM micro-refugia in northern China. On the regional scale, the book shows the altitudinal migration pattern of the three dominant tree genera and the role of topographical factors in the migration of the forest-steppe border. On the catchment scale, it analyzes Huangqihai Lake, located in the forest-steppe ecotone in northern China, to indentify the local forest dynamics response to the Holocene climatic change. It shows that local forests have various modes of response to the climate drying, including shrubland expansion, savannification and replacement of steppe. In brief, these studies at different space-time scales illustrate the effects of climate, topography and other factors on forest migration.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Plant EcologyEcologyPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeographyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L24051Plant Ecologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L19112Terrestial Ecologyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L19139Environmental Geographyhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J19010Plant Ecology.Ecology.Plant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.Plant Ecology.Terrestial Ecology.Environmental Geography.574.52642Hao Qianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065241BOOK9910298429903321The LGM Distribution of Dominant Tree Genera in Northern China's Forest-steppe Ecotone and Their Postglacial Migration2544103UNINA
