Journal Article
Fang, Y., Yang, X., Zhao, Y., Li, Y., Ma, C., Chen, B., & Bunting, M. J. (2025). Assessing the suitability of pollen dispersal and deposition model: A model-empirical data comparison study in the spruce (Picea schrenkiana) forest edge of Tian Shan Mountains, northwestern China. Quaternary science reviews, 350, Article 109151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2024.109151

Montane ecotones such as the forest-steppe transition are highly sensitive and responsive to climate change. Thus, reconstructing changing ecotone position is a valuable tool for reconstructing past climate change in mountainous regions, although ide...
