Abstract
Congping is a wetland at about 2100 m asl in Chongqing Province. It is surrounded by a shrubby grassland which grades into a mixed conifer and deciduous woodland. A record based on pollen, microcharcoal and geochemistry has been used to reconstruct an environmental history covering the last approximately 40 kyr BP. The site was wooded throughout the entire record and there were two relatively warm periods; during Marine Isotope 3 (MIS 3) and for the Holocene from about 9 kyr BP. From 27 to 18 kyr BP a gradual cooling occurred and the coldest part of the record was between 22 and 18 kyr BP when a mixed conifer cool temperate deciduous forest occurred, The warmest part of the record lasted from about 9 to 1.5 kyr BP when mixed evergreen and deciduous forest occurred. The broad pattern of changes is in accord with pollen records from Dajiuhu in Hubei, and demonstrates that this was a regional signal. A moist central China at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) shows that the East Asian
