Asian dust-storm activity dominated by Chinese dynasty changes since 2000 BP
The Asian monsoon (AM) played an important role in the dynastic history of China, yet it
remains unknown whether AM-mediated shifts in Chinese societies affect earth surface
processes to the point of exceeding natural variability. Here, we present a dust storm
intensity record dating back to the first unified dynasty of China (the Qin Dynasty, 221–207
BCE). Marked increases in dust storm activity coincided with unified dynasties with large
populations during strong AM periods. By contrast, reduced dust storm activity corresponded …
