4.6 Eurasia

Much of Siberia and central Asia was desert-like, but with some large areas of steppe-tundra (rather resembling semi-desert in most areas). China had relatively little tree cover. The vegetation resembled dry steppe in northern China, with scattered areas of trees in the uplands across southern China (in a predominantly grassland lowland landscape). Japan had an open woodland cover. In south-east Asia, there was much more open grassland and dry forest than at present.
