“…In recent years, numerous studies focusing on the LGM have been conducted such as the analysis of high-resolution stalagmite records [2,3], and the modeling of palaeoclimate and associated driving mechanisms [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Numerous studies have also been published on lacustrine sediments and peat sequences [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. For example, dust flux rates and paleohydrological conditions on a decadal scale over the past 220 years from the sediment record of Lake Sihailongwan [13].…”

“…The detailed paleomagnetic study on long sediment cores from Erlongwan Maar Lake, provided an important contribution to the ongoing database of a paleosecular variation master curve for East Asia [14]. Based on the response of carbon isotope fractionation of C 3 plants in peat from Jinchuan [16] and the variation of   13 C org in the sediments from Xiaolongwan Maar Lake [15] to the variation in relative humidity or precipitation, the authors interpreted organic carbon isotopic composition as an indicator of humidity or precipitation. The study of the Hani peat sequence in the Changbai Mountain, NE China, also showed that the effective precipitation in NE China was variable during the early Holocene, probably due to short-term enhancement of summer monsoon rainfall at that time [18].…”

Varve counts with AMS 14 C, 137Cs and 210 Pb dating of sediments (0-900 cm) from Erlongwan Maar Lake, NE China were used to establish a high-resolution chronology series for the late Quaternary. Dry density, total organic carbon (TOC) content, total nitrogen (TN) content, TOC/TN ratios and stable organic carbon isotope (  13 C org ) ratios were continuously analyzed on this sediment profile. On the basis of lithological characters, sporo-pollen assemblages and geochemical analyses, we identified 6 climate stages within the last 14 ka BP. The time before the Holocene (14-11.4 ka BP) represents a higher-order oscillation climatic transitional period (I). The entire Holocene climate development (from 11.4 ka BP to present) exhibited an increasing temperature trend, although there were cold and warm alternations (II-VI). The periods included were: II (11.4-9.05 ka BP) warm-wet stage, III (9.05-7.4 ka BP) cold and warm fluctuation stage, IV (7.4-4.2 ka BP) smoothly warming climate stage, V (4.2-1.67 ka BP) climate optimum stage, and VI (from 1.67 ka BP to present) cool and drier stage. Each climate stage began with a warming event and ended with an abrupt cooling event. This climate change cycle had unequal time spaces that were progressively shorter over time. Several abrupt climate shifts occurred at about 9. 4-9.05, 8.5-8.2, 7.8-7.4, 4.6-4.2, 3.7-3.25, 2-1.67 and 0.3-0.03 ka BP. Thus, it can be seen that the climate has been warming since 1920 AD, which indicates a new climate stage. Erlongwan, Maar Lake sediments, varve, climate variability Citation:You H T, Liu J Q.

“…Recently, a variety of proxy records has been reported to document climate change in NE China (Chu et al 2009;Hong et al 2005Hong et al , 2009Li et al 2011;Parplies et al 2007;Stebich et al 2009;Wang et al 2012b;You and Liu 2012). These studies mainly focused on the last deglaciation period (Parplies et al 2007;Stebich et al 2009) and the past millennium (Chu et al 2009;Sun et al 2013;Wang et al 2012b), but there are a limited number of Holocene palaeoclimatic records from the NE China (Hong et al 2005(Hong et al , 2009Li et al 2011;You and Liu 2012) that can provide insight into climate change and potential forcing mechanisms. Furthermore, these Holocene palaeoclimatic records display different patterns could be attributed to dating uncertainties, lowresolution and/or climate proxy implications remains uncertain.…”

Earth Surface Processes and Environmental Changes in East Asia

The Northeastern China involves complex interactions between the East Asian monsoon (EAM) circulation and the polar climate system, and plays a significant role as the bridge communicating low and high latitude climatic processes. High-resolution multi-proxy analysis of a robust AMS 14 C dated lacustrine sediment core recovered from Jingpo Lake in northeastern China provides a detailed history of East Asian monsoon (EAM) variability and vegetation changes during the Midto Late Holocene. The multi-proxy results show that the climate was relatively warm and humid during the period from 5100 to 3600 cal. yr BP, cool and dry between 3600 and 2100 cal. yr BP, and a strengthening of the EAM intensity during the period of 2100 to 150 cal. yr BP. After 150 cal. yr BP, the multi-proxy results reflecting the Jingpo Lake region is affected by intensive human activities. Our findings indicate that variability of the EAM during the Mid-to Late Holocene on multi-decadal to centennial scale are forced by changes in both solar output and oceanic-atmospheric circulations. Furthermore, we have found the evidence that abrupt climate changes coincides with the collapse or the beginning and the chaotically divided of some Chinese dynasties, which will need further research on the relationship between climate and human cultural changes.

“…However, it still remains unclear about the spatiotemporal pattern of the Asian monsoon rainfall and its forcing mechanism, partly due to inadequate high-resolution and long-term climate observations. Considerable progresses in reconstructing Asian monsoon (AM) climate over the past millennia have been made using climate "proxy" data, such as ice cores (Thompson et al, 2000, Yang et al, 2007, tree rings Buckley et al, 2010), lake sediments (Yancheva et al, 2007;Chu et al, 2009) and historical documents (Zheng et al, 2006;Tan et al, 2008). Speleothems are important terrestrial archives in recording AM climate for the past two millennia (Tan et al, 2003(Tan et al, , 2006Sinha et al, 2007Sinha et al, , 2011Zhang et al, 2008), as they have a great potential in well constrained dating, resolution and distribution (McDermott, 2004;Fairchild et al, 2006).…”

Isotopic and lithologic variations of one precisely-dated stalagmite across the Medieval/LIA period from Heilong Cave, central China

Abstract. Lithologic and isotopic changes of one stalagmite (224 mm in length) from Heilong Cave, Central China, are investigated here in order to explore multiple proxies of monsoon climate. High uranium concentrations (6-10 ppm) ensure Th-230 dates precisely and resultant chronology ranges from ∼ 790 to 1780 AD across the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) to Little Ice Age (LIA). Annually resolved oxygen and carbon isotopic data, gray level and elemental Sr are highly related to macroscopic lithologic changes. A lamination sequence is composed of alternations of white-porous and dark-compact calcite clearly discerned on the polished surface. The dark-compact laminae have low values of gray level, high Sr and δ 13 C values, indicating periods of low growth rate under dry climate conditions, and vice versa for the white-porous laminae. This suggests that changes in hydrology, matter input of drip water and crystallization process were controlled by cave environments and climates. The alternation of dry and wet periods with a significant periodicity of ∼ 90 yr, as indicated by spectral analyses of the multiple proxies, is further supported by a reconstructed precipitation index from historical documents and instrumental data extending back to 1470 AD. A strong coherence between monsoon proxy of calcite δ 18 O and the other proxies was observed during the LIA but not during the MWP. This is likely due to changes in atmospheric circulation pattern at the boundary of MWP/LIA. When the Intertropical Convergence Zone shifted southward during the LIA, summer monsoon precipitation at the cave site was probably dominated by the Mei-Yu, resulting in water vapor mainly originated from adjacent oceanic sources.
