It has been recognised for some time that middle to late Holocene forests in China have undergone changes that are best described as due to human impacts. Hence the Holocene has seen sometimes gradual and sometimes abrupt changes from forest dynamics driven by natural forces to those dominated by human impacts. This leads to a conclusion that it is often difficult to disentangle natural and anthropogenic controls on forest composition. In many cases records show minor changes in the early Holocene giving way to intense changes as agriculture expanded. The two earliest centres of extensive forest changes from 6 to 5 kyr BP were in the middle to lower Yellow and lower Yangtze valleys, where millet and rice agriculture developed. Major forest clearing was later in other areas, including the Pearl River valley, Northeast China and Yunnan. Forest clearing for agriculture was widespread in eastern China by 2 kyr BP. Where data is available it seems that initial clearing took place in valleys adjacent to rivers, presumably because these were the preferred living places for early farmers. Then gradually spread to nearby slopes. New approaches and technologies were needed to achieve this. The records show that north east China, north of the Liao River, and the mountains of central China were amongst the last places to record forest clearing, in some cases just within the last few hundred years, or not at all.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49644,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary International","volume":"691 ","pages":"Pages 1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140622276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much less is known about the fire history of the low-elevation forests of the Olympic Peninsula and the role of cultural fire regimes in these environments. The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental history of a low-elevation study site, Beaver Lake, located in the northwestern part of the peninsula. Using macroscopic charcoal, pollen, and sedimentological analyses of a ca. 3440-year-long record, we reconstructed a high-resolution record that shows fire activity was remarkably high during the late Holocene<span> for an area considered part of a temperate rainforest. However, patterns of burning varied throughout the record, with the first third (ca. 3440 to 2350 cal yr BP) and last third (ca. 800 cal yr BP to the present day) recording much higher amounts of fire activity compared to the middle portion (ca. 2350 to 800 cal yr BP), which recorded very little fire activity. Larger and/or more severe fires that likely burned during multi-year droughts correlate with peaks in magnetic susceptibility and pollen trends that indicate substantial geomorphic responses and successional changes in forest structure following these events. Cooler temperatures and a wetter climate, indicated by nearby glacial advancements, may have staved off fire activity during the period of low fire activity. Cultural burning by the Indigenous tribes of the Olympic Peninsula likely contributed to the observed fire activity at Beaver Lake as nearby prairies were managed for resource procurement, indicated in particular by an increase in herbaceous morphotype charcoal during the past 800 years.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":49644,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary International","volume":"705 ","pages":"Pages 73-85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140786922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Last Glacial Maximum period in the gulf is associated with the lowstand sea level, forming the deepest marine terrace at −148 m.
