      abstract = {This book systematically discusses the vegetation dynamics  in northern China since the LGM, with a focus on three  dominant tree species (Pinus, Quercus and Betula). By  integrating methods of palaeoecology, phylogeography and  species distribution model, it reconstructs the glacial  refugia in northern China, demonstrating that the species  were located further north than previously assumed during  the LGM. The postglacial dynamics of forest distribution  included not only long-distance north-south migration but  also local spread from LGM micro-refugia in northern China.  On the regional scale, the book shows the altitudinal  migration pattern of the three dominant tree genera and the  role of topographical factors in the migration of the  forest-steppe border. On the catchment scale, it analyzes  Huangqihai Lake, located in the forest-steppe ecotone in  northern China, to indentify the local forest dynamics  response to the Holocene climatic change. It shows that  local forests have various modes of response to the climate  drying, including shrubland expansion, savannification and  replacement of steppe. In brief, these studies at different  space-time scales illustrate the effects of climate,  topography and other factors on forest migration.},
