Differentiations of geographic distribution and subsistence strategies...
AbstractThe people of the Tibetan Plateau have received extensive attention from scholars because of their unique adaptability to the low temperature and anoxic environments. However, the Tibetan...
View ArticleCosmogenic nuclide burial dating of Liuwan Paleolithic site in the Luonan...
AbstractThe Luonan Basin is a key region of early human settlement in Central China with more than 300 discovered Paleolithic sites. Artifact layer 1 of the Liuwan site was dated to approximately 0.6...
View ArticleThe impacts of base level and lithology on fluvial geomorphic evolution at...
AbstractPrevious researches had emphasized tectonic impacts on the fluvial system at the tectonically active areas, while the effects of lithology and local base level change have received relatively...
View ArticleEast Asian paleoclimate change in the Weihe Basin (central China) since the...
AbstractObtaining a continuous sedimentary record of Cenozoic East Asian paleoclimate change is key to understand the origin, evolution and driving mechanism of the East Asian monsoon and climate...
View ArticleTropical forcing orbital-scale precipitation variations revealed by a maar...
AbstractVariations of precipitation in tropical-subtropical regions are fundamentally important to human sustainable development. However, the dominant cyclicity and the mechanism of orbital-scale...
View ArticleDrainage evolution in intermontane basins at the Qinling-Daba Mountains
AbstractRiver capture is of great significance to landform evolution and hominine migration. In the Qinling-Daba Mountains, there is a viewpoint that Jialing River captured Hanjiang River, but this is...
View ArticleThe impact of different rotation regime on the soil bacterial and fungal...
AbstractThe continuous wheat–maize planting has led to the increase in epidemic frequency of wheat diseases under climate change. Analyzation of the soil microbial composition in different rotation...
View ArticleEvidence of Middle Pleistocene hominin migration in the Qinling Mountains...
AbstractThe Qinling Mountain Range (QMR) spans a large region in China and is an important area of hominin activities. Many Paleolithic sites are found in Bahe, South Luohe, and Hanjiang river valleys...
View ArticleEnhanced soil respiration, vegetation and monsoon precipitation at Lantian,...
AbstractPliocene warmth has been used as an analogue for predicting climate response to the rapid atmospheric CO2 increase in the future. Pedogenic carbonates provide an essential archive to...
View ArticleDCB dissolution of iron oxides in aeolian dust deposits controlled by...
AbstractDithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB) treatment is a classical method for removing iron oxides from soil. The DCB-induced dissolution effects on iron oxides are controversial. In this paper,...
View ArticleGlobal desert variation under climatic impact during 1982–2020
AbstractDeserts are important landscapes on the earth and their variations have impacts on global climate through feedback processes. However, there is a limited understanding of the climatic controls...
View ArticleUnprecedented early summer warming recorded in tree rings on the central...
AbstractThe Tibetan Plateau is a fast-warming region in China, whereby the rapid temperature increase affects regional ecosystems and mountain glaciers significantly. Long-term high-quality temperature...
View ArticleContributions of modern Gobi Desert to the Badain Jaran Desert and the...
AbstractIt is well known that the Gobi Desert is the dominant source area of the Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) and the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). However, due to the absence of quantitative analyses,...
View ArticleAsian monsoon rainfall variation during the Pliocene forced by global...
AbstractThe Asian monsoon variations under global temperature changes during the Pliocene are still debated. Here we use a sedimentary record of phytoliths (plant silica) from the Weihe Basin, central...
View ArticleVegetation feedback causes delayed ecosystem response to East Asian Summer...
AbstractOne long-standing issue in the paleoclimate records is whether East Asian Summer Monsoon peaked in the early Holocene or mid-Holocene. Here, combining a set of transient earth system model...
View ArticleHolocene seasonal temperature evolution and spatial variability over the...
AbstractThe origin of the temperature divergence between Holocene proxy reconstructions and model simulations remains controversial, but it possibly results from potential biases in the seasonality of...
View ArticleUnintended consequences of combating desertification in China
AbstractSince the early 2000s, China has carried out extensive “grain-for-green” and grazing exclusion practices to combat desertification in the desertification-prone region (DPR). However, the...
View ArticleFault systems impede incision of the Yarlung river into the Tibetan plateau
AbstractIt is widely accepted that tectonics generally enhances river incision. However, why rivers have not incised further into orogenic plateaus to destroy terrains over long-time scales remains...
View ArticleDiverse Climatic and Anthropogenic Impacts on Desertification in the Middle...
AbstractThe unique desertification processes occurring under the Alpine climate and ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau could provide critical clues to the natural and anthropogenic impacts on...
View ArticleLoess deposits in the low latitudes of East Asia reveal the ~20-kyr...
AbstractThe cycle of precipitation change is key to understanding the driving mechanism of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). However, the dominant cycles of EASM precipitation revealed by different...
