  abstract = {{A} high-resolution pollen record obtained from {P}ingnan {C}ounty, {F}ujian province in {C}hina, provides new insights into the nature of ecosystem changes and the relative importance of human disturbances during the last 1300 years. {P}ollen and stable carbon isotope data indicate that prior to about 800 cal {BP} the study area was covered by a natural forest, dominated by evergreen broad-leaved trees ({C}astanopsis and {Q}uercus). {T}his primeval vegetation was then progressively replaced by the secondary vegetation after similar to 800 cal {BP}. {I}ncreases of {G}ramineae pollen since similar to 800 cal {BP} and a sharp rise in {P}inus pollen after similar to 450 cal {BP} clearly express the expansion of human impacts, reflecting the expansion of farming and the succession of a now-widespread {P}inus massoniana after alteration of the primeval vegetation. {T}axonomic diversity analysis also shows that the floristic diversity is higher during the period of human disturbances than in the earlier part of the record, a phenomenon that has been observed in temperate pollen records where human activities increased.},
