Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

Lake ecosystems are essential for human wellbeing and development for their capacity to
provide multiple ecosystem services (ES). However, because of an anthropogenic-driven …

Previous studies typically assumed a constant total organic carbon (OC) storage in the lake
water column, neglecting its significant variability within a changing world. Based on …

Proxy-based reconstructions of Holocene temperature show that both the timing and
magnitude of the thermal maximum varied substantially across different regions. Given the …

Chinese lakes have been affected by climate change, agricultural intensification and
population increases since 1850. However, the spatiotemporal variations in nitrogen and …

In terrestrial ecosystems, carbon (C) transportation and C pool transformation processes
both occur at the land-river-estuary continuum. Moreover, C budget and C balance …

Deforestation and intensive land use have accelerated soil erosion, reshaped topography,
and altered carbon reservoirs for thousands of years. The timing, scope, and magnitude of …

The Holocene lake sediment records are critical indicators of past global change studies.
This study attempts to reconstruct soil erosion rates (SERs) quantitatively based on lake …

Lipid biomarkers from surface sediments of Lake Taihu (Eastern China) were analyzed in
order to determine the origin and spatial distribution of sediment organic matter (OM), which …

Drylands, which account for 41% of Earth's land surface and are home to more than two
billion people, play an important role in the global carbon balance. This study analyzes the …
