Most studies about carbon dynamics of peatlands have been focused on boreal, subarctic
and tropical peatlands. However, there is limited data about carbon dynamics of alpine …

Anthropogenic landuse, principally agriculture, has been shown to result in increased dust
emissions from susceptible environments in a number of discrete studies. However, until …

We investigated recent changes in spatial patterning of fen and bog zones in five boreal
aapa mire complexes (mixed peatlands with patterned fen and bog parts) in a multiproxy …

The history of dust emission and eolian activity in dust source areas remains unclear due to
the scarcity of geological archives. Grain‐size data from Genggahai Lake on the …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are of emerging interest. In the environment, they occur in
minerals, however, they are also used in many key technologies and in agriculture. In …

Eolian activity determines the magnitude of dust emission. However, geological records of
eolian activity are scarce due to strong wind erosion in the dust source areas. Northern …

Ombrotrophic peat bogs are widely characterized by precipitation-dependent wetlands
where nutrient supply is derived from atmospheric deposition (including snowfall and air …

China is one of the fastest-growing economies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and
heavy metal emissions have increased in parallel with rapid industrialization and …

Abstract XRF core scanning (XRF-CS) is a valuable tool, which allows for the rapid, non-
destructive geochemical analysis of sediment cores at extremely high (sub-millimetre) …

Numerous Holocene paleo-proxy records exhibit a series of centennial-millennial scale
rapid climatic events. Unlike the widely acknowledged 8.2 ka climate anomaly, the likelihood …
