Holocene Asian monsoon evolution revealed by a pollen record from an alpine lake on the southeastern margin of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, China

Abstract: Abstract. We present the results of pollen analyses from a 1105 cm long sediment core from Wuxu Lake in southwestern China, which depict the variations of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) during the last 12.3 ka. During the period of 12.3 to 11.3 cal ka BP, the dominance of Betula forest and open alpine shrub and meadow around Wuxu Lake indicates a climate with relatively cold winters and dry summers, corresponding to the Younger Dryas event. Between 11.3 and 10.4 cal ka… Show more

“…In the last few decades, a wide variety of geological archives have been used to study long‐term changes in the ISM, including speleothem records, and marine and lacustrine sediments (e.g. Fleitmann et al ., ; Cook et al ., ; Contreras‐Rosales et al ., ; Dutt et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ; Sun et al ., ). While numerous studies have reconstructed ISM variations in the Holocene (Dykoski et al ., ; Shakun et al ., ; Cook et al ., ; Wang et al ., ; Xiao et al ., , ; Dutt et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ), high‐resolution and continuous long‐term ISM records that span the whole of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the deglaciation are scarce (Hodell et al ., ; Wang et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ).…”

“…The algae ( Pediastrum ) and aquatic plant pollen ( Myriophyllum ) were identified and counted along with the fossil pollen analysis at 4‐cm intervals after pretreatment with HCl and HF (see details in Zhang et al ., ). Subsequently, concentrations were calculated based on the number of counted Lycopodium spores, in order to express abundance in the sediment samples.…”

“…Instead, lake sediment sequences have played an important role in providing palaeoenvironmental information during the Lateglacial and the Holocene period (e.g. Jarvis, ; Kramer et al ., , ; Wischnewski et al ., ; Li et al ., ; Zhang et al ., ). However, records covering the whole Holocene period are still sparse despite some recent efforts (e.g.…”
