Reconstructing the changing strength of the East Asian summer monsoon has been
controversial because different proxies, many being indirect measures of rainfall, tell …

Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …

Glacial–interglacial changes in the distribution of C3/C4 vegetation on the Chinese Loess
Plateau have been related to East Asian summer monsoon intensity and position, and could …

Abstract Analysis of the stable carbon isotopes (δ 13 C) in organic material in various
geological archives has been widely used for paleoclimatic reconstruction. Consequently, it …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in …

The main objective of this paper is to provide researchers that investigate fossil phytolith
assemblages and model/data comparisons a new tool for estimating C3/C4 grass …

Lubricant and diesel oil-polluted sites are difficult to remediate because they have less
volatile and biodegradable characteristics. The goal of this research was to evaluate the …

Carbon isotope changes in paleosols from Siwalik, Pakistan, and marine sediments from the
Bengal Fan indicate a major C4 plant expansion in the Himalayan foreland during the late …

The East Asian monsoons have fluctuated in concert with high-latitude warmth during the
past several hundred thousand years, with humid summer monsoon-dominant climates …

The temporal vegetation development provides vital information for understanding past
climatic changes. In this study, we reconstruct vegetation dynamics from the last glacial …
