“…The first hypothesis aims to answer the question as to whether the humans migrated from the north to the south under the cooler climatic conditions initiated at the onset of the Younger Dryas. As described above, cooler signatures recorded in pollen spectra in central Japan coincided with the Younger Dryas (e.g., Kumon et al, 2009;Takahara et al 2010).…”

“…The cool and dry climate during the Younger Dryas has been also recorded in the vegetation history. A recent synthesis of the pollen records (Takahara et al, 2010) from terrestrial and marine sediments in and around the Japanese Archipelago show that the vegetation changes were in response to the DansgaardOeschger cycles registered in Greenland (Dansgaard et al, 1993). The pollen records obtained from Japan and Taiwan demonstrates that the Younger Dryas was characterized by the abundance of cold conifers and cool conifers relative to temperate deciduous broadleaf trees and an increase of upland herbs.…”

The effect of the Younger Dryas cold reversal on the survival of Late Glacial hunter-gatherers in the Japanese Archipelago is evaluated, through a synthetic compilation of 14 C dates obtained from excavated Late Glacial and initial Holocene sites (332 14 C dates from 88 sites). The estimated East Asian monsoon intensity and vegetation history based on the loess accumulations in varved sediments and pollen records in and around the Japanese Archipelago suggest an abrupt change to cool and dry climate at the onset of Younger Dryas, coupled with the Dansgaard-Oeschger Cycles as recorded in Greenland. The chronometric placement of sites based on an assessment of 14 C dates show that the site numbers decrease from the Bølling-Allerød to Younger Dryas and increase from the Younger Dryas to Preboreal. However, human population dynamics inferred from a site distribution analysis was little changed from the previous Bølling-Allerød and to the following Preboreal. Moreover, hunter-gatherers consistently employed ceramic pottery technology since its emergence prior to the onset of Younger Dryas, while the quantity of ceramic vessels that were undermined during the Younger Dryas dramatically increased at the onset of the Holocene, implying that a substantial change in hunter-gatherer socioeconomy occurred after the end of Younger Dryas.

Abstract. Quaternary records provide an opportunity to examine the nature of the vegetation and fire responses to rapid past climate changes comparable in velocity and magnitude to those expected in the 21st-century. The best documented examples of rapid climate change in the past are the warming events associated with the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles during the last glacial period, which were sufficiently large to have had a potential feedback through changes in albedo and greenhouse gas emissions on climate. Previous reconstructions of vegetation and fire changes during the D-O cycles used independently constructed age models, making it difficult to compare the changes between different sites and regions. Here, we present the ACER (Abrupt Climate Changes and Environmental Responses) global database, which includes 93 pollen records from the last glacial period (73-15 ka) with a temporal resolution better than 1000 years, 32 of which also provide charcoal records. A harmonized and consistent chronology based on radiometric dating ( 14 C, 234 U/ 230 Th, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), 40 Ar/ 39 Ar-dated tephra layers) has been constructed for 86 of these records, although in some cases additional information was derived using common control points based on event stratigraphy. The ACER database compiles metadata including geospatial and dating information, pollen and charcoal counts, and pollen percentages of the characteristic biomes and is archived in Microsoft Access TM at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.870867.

Centennial- to Millennial-scale Climate Change Since the Last Glacial: the review of related studies from the North Atlantic, East Asia, and Korea

: Centennial-to millennial-scale climate change since the last glacial needs to be revealed to improve the overall predictability of future environmental change. Special attention has been paid to short-term climate oscillations because they usually occurred rapidly enough to cause noticeable change in the average expected lifespan of human. Recently, short-term climate change during the late last glacial was successfully reconstructed from Hanon maar paleolake in Jeju island. In this study, centennial-to millennial-scale climate signals transferred via atmospheric teleconnection were detected for the first time in South Korea. Possible future presence of abrupt climate shifts such as Younger Dryas or 8.2 ka event would not seriously influence the Korean peninsula, especially not Jeju island, due to the Kuroshio warm currents. The study of climate variabilities in Korea could provide essential paleoclimatic information for the entire East Asian monsoon region since the climate of the Korean peninsula is driven significantly by coupled land-atmosphere-ocean dynamics.
