Holocene precipitation hydrogen isotopic values on Nilgiri Plateau (southern India) suggest a combined effect of precipitation amount and transport paths
Open AccessShreyas Managave, Yongsong Huang et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2023References: 8
Paleoclimate investigations of the peat deposits in the Nilgiri Plateau, an important paleoclimate archive of India, are mainly restricted to the carbon isotope composition ((δ 13 C) of plant-derived materials and pollen studies. However, it is unclear whether these proxies reflect past variability in temperature or hydrology. Here, we report the hydrogen and carbon isotopic variability of n-alkanoic acid of chain length 28 (δD C28 and δ 13 C C28…
The morphology of experimentally produced charcoal distinguishes fuel types in the Arctic tundra
Open AccessE Pereboom, Richard S Vachula et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2020Cited by: 3References: 1
Wildfires in the Arctic tundra have become increasingly frequent in recent years and have important implications for tundra ecosystems and for the global carbon cycle. Lake sediment–based records are the primary means of understanding the climatic influences on tundra fires. Sedimentary charcoal has been used to infer climate-driven changes in tundra fire frequency but thus far cannot differentiate characteristics of the vegetation burnt during f…
Climate exceeded human management as the dominant control of fire at the regional scale in California’s Sierra Nevada
Open AccessRichard S Vachula, James M Russell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019
The societal impacts of recent, severe fires in California highlight the need to understand the long-term effectiveness of human fire management. The relative influences of local management and climate at centennial timescales are controversial and poorly understood. This is the case in California’s Sierra Nevada, an actively managed area with a rich history of Native American fire use. We analyzed charcoal preserved in lake sediments from Yosemi…

Interplay between the Westerlies and Asian monsoon recorded in Lake Qinghai sediments since 32 ka
Open AccessZhaolong An, Zhisheng An et al.ARTICLEScientific Reports2012
Two atmospheric circulation systems, the mid-latitude Westerlies and the Asian summer monsoon (ASM), play key roles in northern-hemisphere climatic changes. However, the variability of the Westerlies in Asia and their relationship to the ASM remain unclear. Here, we present the longest and highest-resolution drill core from Lake Qinghai on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP), which uniquely records the variability of both the Westerlies and the…
Abrupt cooling repeatedly punctuated early-Holocene climate in eastern North America
Open AccessJuzhi Hou, Yongsong Huang et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2011Cited by: 2References: 5
Climate proxy records and general circulation models suggest that Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) plays a key role for global climate changes. Paleoceanographic data document multiple episodes of prominent AMOC weakening during the early Holocene. However, proxy records at adjacent continents have not been demonstrated to fully capture the climate responses to multiple AMOC variation due to temporal resolution and/or the proxy …
Quantitative assessment of precipitation seasonality and summer surface wetness using ombrotrophic sediments from an Arctic Norwegian peatland
Open AccessJ E Nichols, Marie Walcott et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2009
Seasonality of precipitation is an important yet elusive climate parameter in paleoclimatological reconstructions. This parameter can be inferred qualitatively from pollen and other paleoecological methods, but is difficult to assess quantitatively. Here, we have assessed seasonality of precipitation and summer surface wetness using compound specific hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios of vascular plant leaf waxes and Sphagnum biomarkers extracted…
Human impacts, climate change, and aquatic ecosystem response during the past 2000 yr at Lake Wandakara, Uganda
Open AccessJames M Russell, Sophie J McCoy et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2009
Analyses of carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios of terrestrial leaf waxes and the carbon and nitrogen abundance, ratio, and isotopic composition of bulk sediments from Lake Wandakara, a crater lake in western Uganda, East Africa, document human and climatic controls on the aquatic system and on the surrounding terrestrial vegetation during the past two millennia. Our data indicate that Wandakara was a relatively stable, productive lake surrounded …
A late-glacial transition from Picea glauca to Picea mariana in southern New England
Open AccessMatts Lindbladh, W Wyatt Oswald et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2007
Picea is an important taxon in late-glacial pollen records from eastern North America, but little is known about which species of Picea were present. We apply a recently developed palynological method for discriminating the three Picea species in eastern North America to three records from New England. Picea glauca was dominant at ∼ 14,500–14,000 cal yr BP, followed by a transition to Picea mariana between ∼ 14,000 and 13,500 cal yr BP. Compariso…
