Trial for reconstructing ecological environments in Central Eurasia during a recent millennium

对天山、阿拉泰两山丘陵和山坡的土壤和植被分布格局进行了广泛的调查，以了解它们与气候条件的关系。在每个研究区域，随着海拔的增加，土壤形成环境通常从干燥转向潮湿或更多的淋溶条件。在天山和阿拉泰山脉，都明显地观察到了从西向东向更干燥潮湿条件的过渡。在此基础上，结合以往的气候资料，实现了不同历史时期土壤和植被的区域制图。

Extensive surveys on distribution patterns of soils and vegetation were carried out in the foothills and mountain slopes of the Tienshan and Altai Mountains in order to give basic information on relationships between them and climatic conditions. In each of the study regions, as elevation increased, soil-forming environments commonly shifted from dry to moist or more leaching conditions. In both the Tienshan and Altai Mountains, a west-to-east transition toward drier moisture conditions was clearly observed. Based on these results, combining with past climatic data, the regional mapping of soils and vegetation in different historical periods were realized.
