Knowledge of the drivers of ecosystem changes in the past is key to understanding present ecosystem responses to changes in climate, fire regimes and anthropogenic impacts. Northern Hemisphere‐focussed studies suggest that climate and human activities drove turnover during the Holocene in temperate ecosystems. Various drivers have been invoked to explain changes in Southern Hemisphere temperate vegetation, but the region lacks a quantitative assessment of these drivers. To better understand the regional drivers of past diversity, we present a quantitative meta‐analysis study of turnover and richness during the lateglacial and Holocene in Australian temperate ecosystems.

南半球温带生态系统植被更新的长期驱动力

了解过去生态系统变化的驱动因素是了解当前生态系统对气候，火灾和人为影响变化的反应的关键。以北半球为重点的研究表明，全新世期间气候和人类活动推动了温带生态系统的更新。已经调用了各种驱动因素来解释南半球温带植被的变化，但是该地区缺乏对这些驱动因素的定量评估。为了更好地了解过去多样性的区域驱动因素，我们对澳大利亚温带生态系统的晚冰期和全新世期间的营业额和丰富度进行了定量的荟萃分析研究。
