Indonesian vegetation response to changes in rainfall seasonality over the past 25,000 years

Abstract

The hydrological response to climate forcing during the past 25,000 years varied throughout the Indo-Pacific warm pool region. Marine sediment records suggest that during the Last Glacial Maximum, drying in northeast Borneo did not result in a vegetation shift, whereas the development of a severe dry season on Sumba led to water stress and the expansion of herby vegetation.
