Fossil pollen records are well-established indicators of past vegetation changes. The
prevalence of pollen across environmental settings including lakes, wetlands, and marine …

There are significant differences in the interpretation of the moisture (precipitation) history of
arid central Asia (ACA) during the Holocene, as inferred on one hand from speleothem …

Abstract Projecting how the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall will change with
global warming is essential for human sustainability. Reconstructing Holocene climate can …

Fire is an intrinsic feature of terrestrial ecosystems as well as a key Earth system process
that significantly influences ecosystem patterns, the carbon cycle, and climate. Although …

Northeast (NE) China lies in the northernmost part of the East Asian Summer monsoon
(EASM) region. Although a series of Holocene climatic records have been obtained from …

Quantitative reconstructions of the depth to water table (DWT) of ombrotrophic (rain-fed)
peatlands are important for understanding the palaeohydrological responses of peatlands to …

Characterizing spatiotemporal variability of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) is critical for
full understanding of its behavior, dynamics, and future impacts. The present knowledge …

Arid central Asia (ACA) is one of the largest arid (desert) areas in the world, and its climate is
dominated by the westerlies. In this study, we examined sand dune evolution from the …

Millet agriculture, ie, broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica),
initially originated in northern China and provided the basis for the emergence of the first …

Pollen-based quantitative reconstructions of past climate variables is a standard
palaeoclimatic approach. Despite knowing that the spatial extent of the calibration-set affects …
