AB  - The reconstruction of the climate in the Miocene Shanwang basin is an important 
      link in understanding past climate and environmental changes in East Asia. A 
      recent study showed that the mean annual temperature (MAT) estimates derived from 
      leaf margin analysis (LMA) and the Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program 
      (CLAMP) conflicted with and were remarkably lower than those estimated by the 
      coexistence approach (CA). Overlapping distribution analysis (ODA), a new method 
      introduced here, is used to reconstruct the Shanwang Miocene climate based 
      explicitly on local plant distribution data and associated meteorological 
      stations. The Shanwang flora (17-15.2 Ma) suggests a MAT of 10.9-14.5 degrees C and a 
      mean annual precipitation (MAP) of 1107.3-1880.0 mm. This result is closer to the 
      values derived from CLAMP and LMA than that obtained by CA. This report is the 
      first comprehensive intercomparison of foliar physiognomic and nearest living 
      relative climate proxies in a Chinese context and provides important cross 
      validation of results.
