Climate and vegetation derived from a Pliocene-aged leaf flora from SE Shanxi Province, North China.

The Zhangcun Formation (36°58?N, 112°50?E), located at the boundary of Yushe and Wuxiang Counties in SE Shanxi Province, North China, was deposited in an intermontane lake basin and contains a rich assemblage of plant macro- and micro-fossils. CLAMP (Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program) was used to determine the palaeoclimate quantitatively.
