Anthropogenic climate change has significant impacts at the ecosystem scale including widespread drought, flooding, and other natural disasters related to precipitation extremes. To contextualize modern change, scientists often look ancient changes, such as shifts in ranges. Previous studies have used fossil leaf organic geochemistry paleosol inorganic chemistry paleoprecipitation proxies, but ...

This study focuses on a short-term pedochronosequence of Kurgan № 1 at the Boldyrevo IV kurgan cemetery in Orenburg Region Southern Cis-Urals. According to archaeological findings, was built over several decades by people Yamnaya (Pit-Grave) culture Early Bronze Age (around 5500 BP), with exact time its building be confirmed radiocarbon dating and further information. A comparative analysis fou...

The evolution of land plant root systems occurred stepwise throughout the Devonian, with first evidence complex appearing in mid-Givetian. This biological innovation provided an enhanced pathway for transfer terrestrial phosphorus (P) to marine system via weathering and erosion. enhancement is consistent paleosol records has led hypotheses about causes eutrophication mass extinctions during Dev...

The Cenomanian Mata Amarilla Formation (MAF) in southern Patagonia (~55° S paleolatitude, Austral-Magallanes Basin, Argentina) is composed mainly of stacked fluvial deposits with intercalated paleosols, which document environments at high-paleolatitudes the Southern Hemisphere. We performed a multiproxy study paleosols and sediments MAF order to (1) understand composition soil- sediment-derived...

An integrated study of sediments was conducted to examine the facies architecture and depositional environment Cretaceous Pab Formation, Rakhi Gorge, Suleiman Ranges, Pakistan. This research focused on analyzing architectural elements facies, which are not commonly studied in sedimentary basins To identify lithofacies, outcrop analysis section measurement were performed. The identified lithofac...

We report the first complete loess–paleosol record spanning last 130 kyr from southern extremity of Hunshandake Sandy Land (HSL) in central-eastern Mongolia. Our combined mineral magnetic and geochemical results demonstrate that during interglacial, front East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) extended to Inner Mongolia, consistent with modern observations climate change. However, glacial, typical pa...
