Intensive pastoralism facilitated the rise of the Tang Dynasty in China
Diatom assemblages indicated ecological shifts over the past two centuries in Bosten Lake, northwest China: Natural and anthropogenic forcings
Soil Erosion Caused the Increasing Holocene Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect of Lake Kanas in the Altai Mountains
Radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of the total organic carbon (TOC) content of lacustrine sediments is always affected by a 14 C reservoir effect and the 14 C dates are often systematically older than the true ages. However, there are few studies of the temporal changes of the 14 C reservoir effect, with reference to the specific influencing factors. We collected TOC samples from the Holocene sediments of Lake Kanas, in the southern Altai Mountains, for…
Cycles of grazing and agricultural activity during the historical period and its relationship with climatic and societal changes in northern China
The arable‐pastoral ecotone in northern China is ecologically fragile and the region has experienced substantial climatic variability, triggering population migrations, and the alternation of subsistence strategies during the historical period. However, the lack of continuous proxy records of arable and grazing activity has hampered our understanding of shifts in subsistence strategies and their relationship with climatic and societal changes. We…
An updated chronology and paleoenvironmental background for the Paleolithic Loufangzi site, North China
In-site pollen record from the Dadiwan archaeological site and the human-environment relationship during Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 3
Climatic change that affects biological productivity is often argued to be a primary force influencing human activities during the glacial period. To test this assumption, we combine in-site pollen, paleoclimatic, and archaeological data from the Dadiwan site and nearby areas on the western Loess Plateau (WLP) that date to Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. Our comparison of multiple datasets suggests that regional human activities increased wh…
Early–middle Holocene ecological change and its influence on human subsistence strategies in the Luoyang Basin, north-central China
In north-central China, subsistence practices transitioned from hunting and gathering to millet-based agriculture between the early and middle Holocene. To better understand how ancient environmental changes influenced this shift in subsistence strategies and human activities at regional to local levels, we conducted palynological and lithologic analyses on radiocarbon-dated sediment cores from the Luoyang Basin, western Henan Province. Our palyn…
A late-Holocene pollen record from the western Qilian Mountains and its implications for climate change and human activity along the Silk Road, Northwestern China
The sparsity of long-term reliable climatic records hampers our understanding of human–environment interactions in the semi-arid Hexi Corridor, NW China. Here, we present a late-Holocene pollen record from a small alpine lake, Tian’E, in the western Qilian Mountains. The chronology is provided by nine accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates from terrestrial plant remains. The ratios of Artemisia and Amaranthaceae (A/C) are used to reconstr…
Modern pollen assemblages from human-influenced vegetation in northwestern China and their relationship with vegetation and climate
Hydroclimatic changes over the past 900 years documented by the sediments of Tiewaike Lake, Altai Mountains, Northwestern China
East Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability since the last deglaciation
The lack of a precisely-dated, unequivocal climate proxy from northern China, where precipitation variability is traditionally considered as an East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) indicator, impedes our understanding of the behaviour and dynamics of the EASM. Here we present a well-dated, pollen-based, ~20-yr-resolution quantitative precipitation reconstruction (derived using a transfer function) from an alpine lake in North China, which provides fo…
The 8.2 ka event recorded in Bosten Lake, Xinjiang, China
Application and limitations of the Artemisia /Chenopodiaceae pollen ratio in arid and semi-arid China
The Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae (A/C) ratio is assumed to be a useful index for reconstructing moisture changes in arid and semi-arid regions. Thorough modern pollen studies are still lacking to understand the reliability and limitation of A/C ratio as a moisture indicator, however. Here we review how well this ratio can be applied in arid and semi-arid China on the basis of new surface pollen data, previous data synthesis and other publications. Re…
