The paleosol-based proxies derived from the ancient aeolian deposits on the Chinese
Loess Plateau (CLP) are commonly used to infer past changes in climate and environment …

Climate and vegetation in Japan are strongly influenced by the East Asian Monsoon (EAM)
and the ocean environment of the Japan Sea. This study discusses the findings from a new …

Changing climate has altered the trends and variability of precipitation and temperature
globally and thereby increasing the risk of natural and social disasters, especially in coastal …

The mechanisms and processes of precipitation change during warm climatic periods, such
as the Holocene, may provide critical insights into future regional precipitation trends in the …

Prominent and well studied is the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM), but much less is
known about changes in South Asian winter monsoon (SAWM). In this study, we analyzed a …

Abstract The Middle Pleistocene is an important period of global climatic and environmental
evolution during the Quaternary. We conducted pollen analyses of 144 fossil samples and …

Based on a study of the boron (B) isotope geochemistry of the loess-paleosol sequence of
the Niuyangzigou section (NYZG) in Northeast (NE) China, the boron isotopic composition of …

Goethite/hematite ratios in soils are widely used to reconstruct past climatic changes, but
their accurate measurements have remained challenging due to the matrix effect. Here we …

Assessing the impact of precipitation and temperature on soil moisture changes during the
Holocene is essential to understanding the regional ecological environment change in the …

The orbital-scale variations and associated driving mechanisms of the South Asian summer
monsoon (SASM) and South Asian winter monsoon (SAWM) remain poorly understood. In …
