3,600 years of human adaptation to drought intensification on the southern Tibetan Plateau
H. Li, D. Xu, et al.
This study reveals remarkable insights into human adaptation strategies on the Southern Tibetan Plateau over the last 3600 years. Through the examination of pollen, fungal spores, and charcoal records from lake sediments, researchers uncover a significant transition in land-use practices, illustrating the resilience of human populations in response to intensified drought conditions. Conducted by Hao Li, Deke Xu, Chang Li, Anning Cui, Yajie Dong, Xinxin Zuo, Can Wang, Naiqin Wu, and Houyuan Lu, this research highlights the dynamic relationship between humans and their environment.
