A 3-Ma pollen record was obtained from a continuous red clay loess paleosol sequence at Chaona in the central Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). The record shows a permanent change of a domination of typical Cupressaceae forest vegetation representative of an ecological environment with a relative warm and humid climate during 3.0 2.6 Ma to largely steppe vegetation under dry climate conditions after 2.6 Ma. The later is further manifested itself as steppe to forest or forest steppe (spruce forest — mostly mesophilous herbs) between 2.6 Ma and 1.5 Ma, forest steppe (pine grass) between 1.5 Ma and 0.95 Ma, open forest steppe (mesophilous and xeromorphic herbs pine) between 0.95 Ma and 0.5 Ma, and steppe (xeromorphic herbs) after 0.5 Ma, suggesting a process of stepwise aridification in Central Asia at the late Pliocene and the Quaternary.
