Based on the review of 26 high-standard Holocene climatic reconstructions (mainly pollen-
based) from the Mongolian Plateau and its surrounding areas, temporal and spatial patterns …

Based on pollen data from 30 sequences reviewed here, we reconstruct the spatial and
temporal variations in temperature and in aridity that occurred during the Holocene in the …

Despite the large and growing literature on microplastics in the ocean, little information
exists on microplastics in freshwater systems. This study is the first to evaluate the …

This study presents the results of the palynological and diatom analyses of the sediment
core recovered in Hoton-Nur Lake (48° 37′ 18 ″N, 88° 20′ 45 ″E, 2083m) in 2004 …

Radiocarbon-dated pollen and diatom records from Lake Kotokel in southern Siberia help to
reconstruct the environmental history of the area since~ 47kyr BP. Pollen spectra …

The arid region of Central Asia is one of the world's major sources of dust and exerts a
significant influence on marine ecosystems, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, the …

The effective humidity, resulting from the balance between evapotranspiration and
precipitation, largely controls the environmental conditions under the highly continental …

A high-resolution record of Holocene environmental and climatic change in the Balikun area
was reconstructed from a sediment core from the Lake Balikun. Multiproxy data show that …

A new composite BDP-96 biogenic silica record over the entire Pleistocene was generated
by splicing BDP-96-1 and BDP-96-2 drill cores from Lake Baikal, crosschecked against a …

Central Asia is located at the confluence of large-scale atmospheric circulation systems.
However, the number of Holocene climate records is still low in most parts of this region and …
