چکیده
The middle and lower Huai River Valley, located between the Yangtze Yellow Rivers, was a key transitional zone for northward spread of rice southward migration millet agriculture in central-eastern China during Holocene. Knowing when millets here, how they were combined with mixed farming, reasons their spread, temporal variation cropping patterns is crucial significance to development our understanding ancient adaptation strategies adopted by human societies response climatic cultural changes. Focusing on crops, phytolith analyses soil samples, tandem radiocarbon dating from Wanbei site, reveal evidence multicropping pattern combining (Oryza sative), broomcorn (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail (Setaria italica) Dawenkou culture period 5720 4426 cal. BP China. data show that always principal crop pattern, domesticated developed early periods. However, its domestication rate became late period. Broomcorn traits appeared only proportions total produced throughout increased slightly, while decreased over time. Finally, formation at may have been primarily influenced both warm wet environment exchange communication Haidai region Valley findings this paper not contribute mapping spatiotemporal route expansion agriculture, but also assist employed eastern

Long term effects of climate on human adaptation in the middle Gila River Valley, Arizona, America
The Hohokam, an irrigation-based society in the American South West, used the river valleys of the Salt and Gila Rivers between 500 and 1500 AD to grow their crops. Such irrigated crops are linking human agency, water sources and the general natural environment. In order to grow crops, water available through rain and river flows needs to be diverted to land where the plants are grown. With a f...

Vegetation plays an important role in atmospheric, hydrologic and biochemical cycles and is an important indicator of the impact of climate and human factors on the environment. In this paper, a method, which combines the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) and temporal unmixing analysis (TUA) methods, is applied to monitor the phenological characteristcs and spatial distribution of vegetation ...
