Ice-jam floods are a unique yet understudied hydrological hazard, occurring in cold-region rivers when upstream thawing and downstream freezing create ice blockages. Despite their severe impacts, their atmospheric drivers and future trends remain unclear. Using a 160-year documentary record, historical reanalysis datasets, and statistical modeling,...
The northeastern Tibetan Plateau is the region with the longest history of development, most densely populated, and most obvious land use of the Tibetan Plateau. However, there is a lack of accurate knowledge of the timing and intensity of the human impacts on vegetation during the mid-to-late Holocene. In this study, we quantitatively compare the...
Mountains with complex terrain and steep environmental gradients are biodiversity hotspots such as the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, it is generally assumed that mountain terrain plays a secondary role in plant species assembly on a millennial time‐scale compared to climate change. Here, we investigate plant richness and community changes...
Heavy minerals offer significant potential in elucidating sediment provenance in a variety of depositional systems. Nevertheless, source identification through heavy minerals remains a relatively understudied aspect, particularly for small floodplain lakes. Located in the North China Plain, Dongping Lake represents an exceptional site for validatin...
Understanding the response of long-term aquatic environmental changes in lakes to ongoing climate change and human activities is key to forecasting future lake conditions. In this study, we infer the Holocene limnological changes in Emu Co, a proglacial lake in Nianbaoyuze on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, from sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) data,...
As an important proxy for investigating past fire activities, charcoal is often used to explore the characteristics of fire distribution and its relationships with vegetation, climate, and human activities. Research into the spatial distribution and environmental determinants for charcoal, however, is still limited. In this study, we identified and...
Understanding human impact on the vegetation of the Tibetan Plateau through the Holocene is important for developing strategies for sustainable ecosystem management in the region. In this paper, 53 pairs of surface-soil samples from inside and outside livestock enclosures were obtained from across the Tibetan Plateau to investigate the differences...
A warming climate may increase flood hazard through boosting the global hydrological cycle. However, human impact through modifications to the river and its catchment is not well quantified. Here, we show a 12,000-year-long record of Yellow River flood events by synthesizing sedimentary and documentary data of levee overtops and breaches. Our resul...
As the recent permafrost thawing of northern Asia proceeds due to anthropogenic climate change, precise and detailed palaeoecological records from past warm periods are essential to anticipate the extent of future permafrost variations. Here, based on the modern relationship between permafrost and vegetation (represented by pollen assemblages), we...
Understanding the history and regional singularities of human impact on vegetation is key to developing strategies for sustainable ecosystem management. In this study, fossil and modern pollen datasets from China are employed to investigate temporal changes in pollen composition, analogue quality, and pollen diversity during the Holocene. Anthropog...
Past annual precipitation (Pann) was reconstructed from Holocene pollen spectra extracted from Gonghai Lake by Cheng et al.1 using a subcontinental scale modern pollen dataset (n=1865, mostly covering China and Mongolia) and the modern analogue technique (MAT), and finds an early-Holocene maximum in contrast to previous Pann reconstructions from Ho...
The Yellow River floodplain represents a fertile landmass that contributes significantly to human welfare and thus has been colloquially known as the
birthplace of Chinese civilization. The sediment-laden nature of the Yellow River gave rise to a super-elevated channel belt, which is prone to failure
particularly in the summer months when excessive...
