在东南亚,第四纪冰期,季节性增加和海平面下降约120米,造成了相当大的雨林破碎化。据信,该地区的大部分核心地区都覆盖着草原植被,雨林仅限于少数避难所。利用孢粉、地质、化石和白蚁等资料,对草原植被的地理范围和避难所的位置进行了调查。结果表明,末次盛冰期,泰国大部分地区、马来西亚半岛、婆罗洲西部和南部、苏门答腊东部和南部以及爪哇岛可能被稀树草原覆盖。热带雨林避难所可能存在于婆罗洲北部和东部、苏门答腊岛北部和西部以及明打威群岛。我们还讨论了该地区可能的完整历史。(C) 2002 .林奈生物学报,林奈生物学报,2002,75(5):453-466。
In south-east Asia, during Quaternary glaciations, increased seasonality and sea level decreases of similar to120m caused considerable fragmentation of the rainforest. It is believed that most of the region's core was covered with savannah vegetation, and rainforest was confined to a few refugia. We investigated the geographical extent of the savannah vegetation and the positions of the refugia, using a combination of palynonlogical, geological, fossil and termite data. Our results show that during the Last Glacial Maximum, most of Thailand, Peninsula Malaysia, western and southern Borneo, eastern and southern Sumatra, and Java were probably covered by savannah. Rainforest refugia were probably present in northern and eastern Borneo, northern and western Sumatra and the Mentawai islands. We also discuss a possible complete history of the region.
