Body
Since 6000 years ago, modern steppe vegetation has contracted in some regions (e.g. southeastern Idaho) but expanded into other regions (e.g. eastern Oregon). These changes from the mid-Holocene to present may reflect generally cooler and wetter conditions (in the pre-industrial era) relative to the mid-Holocene thermal maxima, or perhaps reflect natural patterns of migration and expansion.
