摘要
Pollen and plant macrofossil studies at 11 sites in New Jersey, southern and eastern Pennsylvania, West Virgina, and Virginia, USA reveal the character of the stable vegetation of the unglaciated eastern United States while the Wisconsin ice sheet was still at its outer limit. The stable flora of the periglacial region was different from the pioneer flora of the deglaciated area and from the vegetation of the modern tundra. Persistent tundra made the higher mountains of central Appalachia an important phytogeographical barrier to tree migration until about 12 500 yr BP. -from Author
