Journal ArticleDOI
Earliest domestication of common millet (Panicum miliaceum) in East Asia extended to 10,000 years ago.
Houyuan Lu,Jianping Zhang,Kam-biu Liu,Naiqin Wu,Yumei Li,Kunshu Zhou,Maolin Ye,Tianyu Zhang,Haijiang Zhang,Xiaoyan Yang,Licheng Shen,Deke Xu,Quan Li +12 more
TL;DR: The research reveals that the common millet was the earliest dry farming crop in East Asia, which is probably attributed to its excellent resistance to drought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoliths Analysis for the Discrimination of Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica) and Common Millet (Panicum miliaceum)
TL;DR: Five key diagnostic characteristics in phytolith morphology can be used to distinguish Foxtail millet from Common millet based on the presence of cross-shaped type, regularly arranged papillae, Ω-undulated type, endings structures of epidermal long cell, and surface ridgy line sculpture in the former species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern pollen distributions in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and the development of transfer functions for reconstructing Holocene environmental changes
Houyuan Lu,Naiqin Wu,Kam-biu Liu,Liping Zhu,Xiangdong Yang,Tandong Yao,Luo Wang,Quan Li,Xingqi Liu,Caiming Shen,Xiaoqiang Li,Guobang Tong,Hui Jiang +12 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the distribution of modern pollen assemblages in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China, based on surface soil samples collected at 1202 sites along an altitudinal gradient of 10 -5500 m asl, where mean annual precipitation (MAP) ranges from 12 to 1840 mm and mean annual temperature (MAT) from -7 to 21.5 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change on the Tibetan Plateau in response to shifting atmospheric circulation since the LGM
Liping Zhu,Liping Zhu,Xinmiao Lü,Xinmiao Lü,Junbo Wang,Junbo Wang,Ping Peng,Thomas Kasper,Gerhard Daut,Torsten Haberzettl,Peter Frenzel,Quan Li,Ruimin Yang,Antje Schwalb,Roland Mäusbacher +14 more
TL;DR: Today's airborne pollen in a transition zone of seasonally alternating dominance of the Westerlies and the ISM is analysed to develop a pollen discrimination index (PDI) that allows us to distinguish between the intensities of the two circulation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial pattern of Abies and Picea surface pollen distribution along the elevation gradient in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and Xinjiang, China
Houyuan Lu,Naiqin Wu,Xiangdong Yang,Caiming Shen,Caiming Shen,Liping Zhu,Luo Wang,Quan Li,Deke Xu,Guobang Tong,Xiangjun Sun +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between Abies and Picea abundance in surface pollen and sub-alpine coniferous forest distribution, elevation and climate in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau using a large modern pollen data set consisting of 857 samples.
