摘要: ith the prospect of global warming, it is interesting to look back at past climate change and its effects on vegetation. Although greatest in probably occurred during deglaciation, 12,500 11,000 years ago, significant changes have more recently intermountain region western United States, vast area West lying between Sierra Nevadas Cascades
