摘　　要：Global climate change and its possible ecological consequences have become the focused issue(IPCC,2007;Mann et al.,2008;Ding et al.,2009).The Holocene contains the analogous characteristic of future climatic change and the continuous agriculture activity,providing the ideal"similar pattern"for studying the climate change and human adaption and impact in the future.Based on the recent studies of stalagmite,ice core,ocean,and lake etc.,the paper introduces the new progress in the Holocene climate and agriculture research in China as follows:(1)Discuss the variability,amplitude,and unstable characteristic of climate,as well as the abrupt events and mechanisms of climate.(2)Analyze the botanical index records for studying the early agriculture.(3)Review the agricultural origin,expanding,and development.(4)Reveal the style and intensity of early agriculture and understand the agricultural impact and adaption to the environmental changes.(5)Introduce ongoing research projects in China and emphasize the significance of increasing the dating precision and the indicative effectiveness of proxies.(6)Realize how the ecosystem and environmental factors respond to the increasing temperature process,understand how the human adapt to the rapid climate change,and provide the scientific basis for assessing the effects of climate change and the human adaption in the future.Global climate change and its possible ecological consequences have become the focused issue （IPCC, 2007; Mann et al., 2008; Ding et al., 2009）. The Holocene contains the analogous characteristic of future climatic change and the continuous agriculture activity, providing the ideal ＂similar pattern＂ for studying the climate change and human adaption and impact in the future. Based on the recent studies of stalagmite, ice core, ocean, and lake etc., the paper introduces the new progress in the Holocene climate and agriculture research in China as follows： （1） Discuss the variability, amplitude, and unstable characteristic of cli- mate, as well as the abrupt events and mechanisms of climate. （2） Analyze the botanical index records for studying the early agriculture. （3） Review the agricultural origin, expanding, and development. （4） Reveal the style and intensity of early agricul- ture and understand the agricultural impact and adaption to the environmental changes. （5） Introduce ongoing research projects in China and emphasize the significance of increasing the dating precision and the indicative effectiveness of proxies. （6） Re- alize how the ecosystem and environmental factors respond to the increasing temperature process, understand how the human adapt to the rapid climate change, and provide the scientific basis for assessing the effects of climate change and the human adaption in the future.
