Alternating conditions from cold to warm periods since the Late Glacial provided a significant contrast for future hydroclimatic variation, as did the corresponding variation in vegetation. To predict the potential variability in C3/C4biomass under future warmer climatic conditions, we determined the current spatiotemporal distribution of C3and C4vegetation by estimating the variability of δ13Corgvalues in 125 topsoil samples and investigating the geological period variability of C4plants growing in Inner Mongolia, China. We examined the factors contributing to the growth of C4plants and the variability in C4plants for each 1 °C increase in temperature during recent and geological times. The results revealed that the relative abundance of C4plants in Inner Mongolia shows an increasing trend from the northwest to the southeast. The biomass of C4plants was found to be positively correlated with temperature, although weakly correlated with precipitation, thereby indicating that temperature is the primary climatic factor determining the growth of C4plants in this region. Furthermore, we found that in response to each 1 °C increase in temperature, there would be an approximate 2.1% increase in the spatiotemporal variation of present-day C4plant biomass in Inner Mongolia, whereas during the geological period, there was a corresponding increase of 10.7%. Comparatively, the spatiotemporal variation in present-day C4biomass on the Chinese Loess Plateau has undergone a 4.0% increase in response to each 1 °C increase in temperature, whereas 6.0% and 7.5% increases in the geological period were estimated based on core samples taken from the Lantian and Xingyang sections, respectively. Interestingly, for each 1 °C increase in temperature during the current growth month of C4plants, there is a 6.6% increase in C4biomass, which is essentially consistent with the results obtained for the geological period results (i.e., 6.0% and 7.5% for the Lantian and Xingyang sections, respectively). The findings of this study reveal a distinct contrast in the variation of C4plants during recent and geological periods, thereby enabling us to quantitatively estimate the potential changes in C4vegetation in response to projected climate conditions.
