Detecting anthropogenic impact on forest succession from the perspective of wood exploitation on the northeast Tibetan Plateau during the late prehistoric period

Fengwen Liu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in the prehistoric period of the northeast Tibetan Plateau, humans mainly collected needleleaf trees, broadleaved trees, and shrubs around their habitation areas. There was a clear spatial difference in the woody assemblage collected by humans from 3600 to 2300 BP, likely related to the diversity of natural environments in local areas.

Ecological legacies of past human activities in Amazonian forests

Crystal N. H. McMichael

Summary: Human activities in Amazonia centuries ago can have long-lasting effects on forests. Ecological legacies from these activities enrich or deplete certain species intentionally or unintentionally, affecting post-disturbance succession trajectories and ecosystem processes for hundreds of years. Data from a limited number of forest plots have shaped our understanding of Amazonian biodiversity and carbon storage, highlighting the need for more empirical research on the impact of past human activities on forest ecology in the region.

What drives biodiversity patterns? Using long-term multidisciplinary data to discern centennial-scale change

Jessie Woodbridge et al.

Summary: Biodiversity plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, habitat recovery, and resilience to environmental changes. Long-term ecological records, such as pollen grains and fossil insects, can be used to explore biodiversity patterns over centuries. Human population changes, insect faunal groups, and climate trends have been found to be related to palynological diversity. Human activities have influenced palynological diversity patterns, suggesting a need for further research to understand biodiversity drivers on a regional scale.

Fifty years of Quaternary palynology in the Tibetan Plateau

Lingyu Tang et al.

Summary: Quaternary palynology research in the Tibetan Plateau has undergone different stages, from developing new methods to international cooperation, improving the quality of research. In recent years, new pollen records have revealed vegetation changes in the Tibetan Plateau since the Last Glacial Maximum, especially the changes in the paleomonsoon under the influence of solar insolation.

Global acceleration in rates of vegetation change over the past 18,000 years

Ondrej Mottl et al.

Summary: Over the past 18,000 years, global vegetation has undergone significant changes due to both climate fluctuations and increasing human activities. Utilizing fossil pollen sequences and statistical methods, researchers have observed a remarkable acceleration in vegetation compositional change globally, starting between 4.6 and 2.9 thousand years ago, surpassing any previous changes over the last 18,000 years.

Reconstruction of Cultivated Land in the Northeast Margin of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and Anthropogenic Impacts on Palaeo-Environment During the Mid-Holocene

Zhuoma Wende et al.

Summary: This study explored the impact of human activities on the paleoenvironment in the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The rapid population growth during the Majiayao culture period led to extensive cultivation and significant decrease in forest area. Deforestation during historical periods was primarily driven by human activities, resulting in land degradation and the formation of forest islands.

Interaction between urbanization and eco-environment in the Tibetan Plateau

Feng Yuxue et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the interaction between urbanization and the eco-environment in the Tibetan Plateau region, indicating different trends in Qinghai and Tibet in terms of urbanization and the environment. The coupling coordination has been increasing overall, with dynamic trends in urbanization and eco-environment indexes, predicting a steady increase in coupling coordination in the future but with significant regional growth rate discrepancies.
