Short summary
We present the first continuous reconstruction of vegetation on the Tibetan Plateau, spanning from the last deglaciation to the preindustrial era. Using fossil pollen records and statistical models, we mapped changes across space and time. The dataset shows how forests, grasslands, and alpine ecosystems shifted over millennia, offering insights into past climate–vegetation interactions and improving future climate and land-use research.
