Calcareous root tubes (CRTs), which are formed by the encrustation of roots with pedogenic
carbonate, serve as an archive for paleoclimate reconstructions. However, controversies …

Reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions using geochemical proxies from pedogenic
carbonate must ensure that the pedogenic carbonate is not recrystallized. Calcareous root …

Valuable archives of paleoenvironmental changes are scarce in the hinterlands of deserts.
Calcareous root tubes (CRTs), a form of pedogenic carbonate, are widely distributed in the …

Calcareous root tubes (CRT s) contain abundant information about palaeoenvironmental
conditions and have been used for palaeoenvironmental studies in the desert hinterlands of …

In the hinterland of the desert, valuable archives of paleoenvironmental evolution are
scarce. Calcareous root tubes (CRTs) have a strong potential for reconstructing …

Calcareous root tubes, also called rhizoliths, are defined as secondary carbonate crusts
produced by the root of terrestrial plants. Calcareous root tubes frequently occur in …

Calcareous root tubes are widely distributed across the Badain Jaran Desert and the
Tengger Desert of the Alashan Plateau in northwest China. However, the reliability of their …

The continuous loess-paleosol sequence on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is a major
terrestrial archive of paleoclimate changes. The carbon and oxygen isotopes of soil …
