Magnetic characteristics and its environmental implications of core YSJD-86GC sediments from the southern South China Sea
Sediments of core YSJD-86GC (referred to as 86GC) collected from the southern South China Sea were selected for environmental magnetic studies. Combined with the published chronological framework, sediment mag...

Open AccessA rock magnetic record of Asian cooling and aridification processes during 1.95-0.40 Ma in the southeastern Chinese Loess Plateau
The southeastern Chinese Loess Plateau is the terminal deposition area of dusts transported by the East Asian winter monsoon and the frontal area penetrated by the East Asian summer monsoon, and thus a climate...

Open AccessIs the maximum carbon number of long-chain n-alkanes an indicator of grassland or forest? Evidence from surface soils and modern plants
The molecular distribution of long-chain n-alkanes in 62 soil samples collected from diverse locations across eastern China was analyzed. The long-chain n-alkanes were mostly dominated by n-C29 or n-C31, regardle...

Mid-Late Quaternary loess-paleosol sequence in Lantian’s Yushan, China: An environmental magnetism approach and its paleoclimatic significance
The application of rock magnetism methods to investigating the variations of magnetic minerals in the sediments is an important approach to the reestablishment of paleoclimate evolution. Thus we performed fine...

Comparison of the carbon isotope composition of total organic carbon and long-chain n-alkanes from surface soils in eastern China and their significance
Surface soil samples collected over a high spatial resolution in eastern China were analyzed for carbon isotope composition (δ 13C) of total organic carbon (TOC) and higher plant-derived l...

Inter-annual and inter-decade variability of the oxygen isotopic composition of massive corals from the South China Sea and the climatic influencing factors
Coral colonies of Porites lutea and P. lobata were collected from the east offshore of Hainan Island, South China Sea. Oxygen isotope ratios, 18O/16O, were analyzed along the major axis of growth at a resolution ...
