Among the Early Pleistocene fluvial sediments in Japan that yield plant macrofossils, the Uonuma Group in the Niigata sedimentary basin provides the most continuous profile without any conspicuous hiatuses and is therefore suitable for high-resolution reconstructions of environmental and vegetation...
