Abstract Western Guizhou plateau is an ideal place to reconstruct variations of the Southwest Monsoon since the Last Glacial Period. However,lack of continuous and high temporal resolution records obstacle understanding of evolution of the paleo-vegetation and the Southwest Monsoon. Here we present a palynology record since the Last Glacial Period,which was obtained from a drained paleo-lake in the western Guizhou plateau,with precise AMS14C date, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of vegetation and monsoon. Result shows that: On orbital scale during the stage of MIS3,the main vegetation comprised of arboreal and herbs,in which coniferous arboreal pollen percentage reach its maximum,and indicated a warm and humid climate,implying a strong Southwest Asia Monsoon. During MIS2,the arboreal forest decreased dramatically and the herbs and ferns extended,indicating that a cold and dry climate occurred in this area,implying a weaker Southwest Asia Monsoon,especially during the LGM. On millennium scale,Southwest Asia Monsoon of the western Guizhou plateau co-responded to the “ice drift events”in the North Atlantic,and the Heinrich(mainly H3 and H2)and LGM events resulted in weaker Southwest Asia Monsoon and the decrease of coniferous vegetation in western Guizhou plateau. Comparing with regional climate records reveal that the Southwest Monsoon and the East Asia Summer Monsoon changed synchronous on orbital or millennial scale. The in-phrase relationship implies variations of monsoon system attributed to insolation dynamics in north high latitude and the North Atlantic “ice sheets raft”. Between 19-18 cal ka BP,the research area underwent the driest and coldest climate since MIS2,the arboreal and herbal vegetation nearly disappeared,and the dominant vegetation were ferns,indicating the weakest Southwest Monsoon,while the East Asia Summer Monsoon began to strengthen,which testifies the out-phrase relationship of the two monsoon systems on sub-millennial scale.
