A high-resolution fossil pollen record from Balikun Lake sediments,northwestern China,was used to reconstruct vegetation evolution history over the last 8.8 cal. ka. The vegetation history is interpreted as the following:desert dominated by Chenopodiaceae from 8.8 to 8.0 cal. ka BP; desert -steppe/steppe dominated by Chenopodiaceae and Artemisa from 8.0 to 4.3cal.kaBP; desert dominated by Chenopodiaceae from 4.3 to 3.8cal.kaBP; desert-steppe/steppe dominated by Artemisia,Cyperaceae and Chenopodiaceae from 3...
