Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, methodology): “Together, the BIOME 6000 data set (Prentice et al. 2000) along with more recent updates (Harrison et al. 2001 ; Harrison and Prentice, 2003 ; Bigelow et al. 2003; Pickett et al. 2004), and the global PFT-scheme which underlies it suggest one route for continuing improvement of the representation of…”
Centres of plant endemism in China: places for survival or for speciation? (2011, unknown): “Throughout the rest of China a very poor desert, steppe, or tundra vegetation was dominant (extensively reviewed in An et al., 1990; Winkler & Wang, 1993; Wang & Sun, 1994; Yu et al., 2000; Harrison et al., 2001).”
Phylogeographic analyses suggest that a deciduous species (Ostryopsis davidiana Decne., Betulaceae) survived in northern China during the Last Glacial Maximum (2009, background): “…approximately 18,000 years ago, steppe and even desert vegetation covered the areas currently occupied by coniferous and deciduous forests, which were assumed to shift southwards below 30 N in the northwest, reaching 25 N in eastern China (Yu et al., 2000; Harrison et al., 2001; Ni et al., 2006).”
