The LandCover6k working group recently released the first pollen-based REVEALS reconstruction of Holocene land-cover change in temperate China.
Authors, led by Furong Li, published "Towards quantification of Holocene anthropogenic land-cover change in temperate China: A review in the light of pollen-based REVEALS reconstructions of regional plant cover" in Earth-Science Reviews.
In an attempt to quantify Holocene anthropogenic land-cover change in temperate China, they applied the REVEALS model to estimate plant-cover change using 94 pollen records and relative pollen productivity for 27 plant taxa, reviewed earlier interpretation of pollen studies in terms of climate- and human-induced vegetation change, and reviewed information on past land use from archaeological studies.

PAGES' 6th Open Science Meeting (OSM) will take place from 18-22 May 2021 in Agadir, Morocco.
The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) invites you to take an active part in organizing the scientific program of the conference. The OSM program will be comprised of plenary, parallel and poster sessions.
The plenary sessions will host keynote talks intended to stimulate discussions on the role of past global change science by providing information about strategies for a sustainable world, on the engagement of stakeholders in active cutting-edge research, and on the added value of interdisciplinary approaches. The parallel and associated poster sessions will accommodate top-level ongoing research.
Up to five sessions will be run in parallel at the OSM, allowing accommodation of a total of 40 sessions.
The SPC will prepare the program based upon your input, aiming for a fair balance between the topics. Please note that the SPC could merge sessions with similar topics (before abstract submission) or with a small number of abstracts (after abstract submission).
Scientists from African institutions are strongly encouraged to submit session proposals. Please inform your colleagues about this opportunity.
You are invited to suggest sessions until 1 April 2020. Please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (clickable link with correct subject line) and include a provisional title, potential conveners, and a brief description of the session.
We look forward to receiving your suggestions and thank you in advance!
