A documentary record of earthquake-induced floods and risk assessment in the lower Yellow River during the past 700 years
Flooding has long been a significant concern in the lower Yellow River. While most paleoflood studies have mainly focused on rainstorm-induced floods, our understanding of earthquake-induced floods (EIFs) remains limited. In this study, we compile documentary records of EIF events in the lower Yellow River basin, utilize kernel density estimation (KDE) to analyze their temporal and spatial distribution, and integrate analytical hierarchy process …
Determining the dominant factors determining the variability of terrestrial ecosystem productivity in China during the last two decades
Terrestrial ecosystem productivity (TEP) is an important component of ecological services. The variability of the TEP is driven by multiple factors, both natural and anthropogenic. However, little is known about the dominant factor driving the TEP change at the pixel level, which may hinder ecosystem management particularly in face of global climate changes. In this study, a 22‐year‐long dataset including climate, net primary production (NPP), an…
A 2000-year documentary record of levee breaches on the lower Yellow River and their relationship with climate changes and human activities
The Yellow River floodplain represents a fertile landmass that contributes significantly to human welfare and thus has been colloquially known as the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The sediment-laden nature of the Yellow River gave rise to a super-elevated channel belt, which is prone to failure particularly in the summer months when excessive precipitation occurs, resulting in cataclysmic floods traditionally regarded as “China’s Sorrow.” T…

A lacustrine record of East Asian summer monsoon and atmospheric dust loading since the last interglaciation from Lake Xingkai, northeast China
A 336-cm-long sediment core spanning the last 130 ka was recovered from Lake Xingkai on the northeastern margin of the East Asian summer monsoon domain to reveal the linkage between lacustrine depositional processes and environmental changes. Bayesian end member modeling analysis was conducted to partition and interpret the grain-size distributions of Lake Xingkai sediments. Our results suggest that the sedimentary system is characterized by thre…
Freshwater radiocarbon reservoir age in the lower Yellow River floodplain during the late Holocene
The radiocarbon concentration of the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) pool of most freshwater bodies such as lakes and rivers tends to be depleted with respect to that of the contemporaneous atmosphere, resulting in an apparent radiocarbon age of inorganic carbon therein known as freshwater reservoir effect. This phenomenon of radiocarbon age offset is usually site specific and varies over time. By radiocarbon dating pairs of twigs and gastropod …
Radiocarbon dating and stable carbon isotopic analyses of Neolithic and Bronze Age staple crops in the lower Yellow River area and their paleodietary implications
The stable carbon isotope ratio of archaeological human skeletons has been increasingly used to reconstruct paleodiet, which in turn may provide deep insight into the origin and spread of agriculture. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal variability of some staple crops in many areas of the world. Here, we present radiocarbon ages and stable carbon isotope data of charred millet and rice grains from 14 Neolithic and Bronze Age …

The Making of Fired Clay Bricks in C hina Some 5000 Years Ago
Fired bricks are a hard and durable masonry material that has played a major role in the emergence of early human urban civilization. In C hina, fired clay bricks have been widely used as a building and flooring material since the Q in D ynasty (476−206 bc ), although a few lines of evidence show that fired clay bricks might have been invented as early as 5500 years ago in eastern central C hina. However, these burnt clumps of clay appear not to …
Quantitative reconstruction of mid- to late-Holocene climate in NE China from peat cellulose stable oxygen and carbon isotope records and mechanistic models
There has been an increasing need to reconstruct past climate from proxy records quantitatively and mechanistically. The inverse proxy modeling method stands out as a novel approach to quantitative palaeoclimate reconstructions through integrating process-based models and proxy records, representing a major progress in quantitative palaeoclimatology. It has been proposed to incorporate multiple proxy records to produce a more robust constraint on…
Quantitative palaeoclimate reconstruction as an inverse problem
There has been a sustained need to quantify past climate changes from proxy records to better understand the driving mechanisms and thus to improve the prediction of the future. Transfer function is an intuitive and frequently used method in this regard. However, this method is unable to provide interpretive and predictive results from proxy records, because physical processes are not included. The inverse proxy modelling method opened up a new a…
A dinoflagellate cyst record of Holocene climate and hydrological changes along the southeastern Swedish Baltic coast
A high-resolution, well-dated dinoflagellate cyst record from a lagoon of the southeastern Swedish Baltic Sea reveals climate and hydrological changes during the Holocene. Marine dinoflagellate cysts occurred initially at about 8600 cal yr BP, indicating the onset of the Littorina transgression in the southeastern Swedish lowland associated with global sea level rise, and thus the opening of the Danish straits. Both the species diversity and the …
Holocene organic carbon burial rates in the southeastern Swedish Baltic Sea
To estimate Holocene changes in organic carbon mass accumulation rates (C org MARs) in the southeastern Swedish Baltic Sea, two sediment cores were studied in combination with biogeochemical modelling. Prior to 11 300 cal. BP, C org MARs were extremely low, indicating low organic matter production on the catchment of the Baltic Ice Lake. Following a brief regression, the Ancylus Lake stage occurred between 11 100 and 9800 cal. BP. C org MARs incr…

Holocene palaeoecology along the Blekinge coast, SE Sweden, and implications for climate and sea-level changes
To investigate the Holocene vegetation history and shoreline displacement along the southeastern Swedish coast, two radiocarbon dated pollen, macrofossil and mineral magnetic sequences were studied in the western Blekinge coast: Hunnemara Lake and Smygen Bay. Both pollen records show mosaic vegetation with grasslands, heaths and woodlands prior to 11 300 cal. BP. Pinus-dominated mixed forest was initially established by 11 000 cal. BP. By 10 000 …
