Lab 10: Vegetation Changes in North America

Modern — Natural vegetation that would be possible without human intervention.

28,000-25,000 years ago — A large ice sheet, but not yet the maximum Ice Age.

18,000 years ago — At the peak of the last Ice Age.

13,000 years ago — Things are warming up...

11,000 years ago — Warming up even more....

8,000 years ago — Pretty similar to the modern vegetation map, except near the ice sheets.
