Boreas, EarlyView.Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Modeling vegetation coverage and soil erosion in the Loess Plateau Area of China
, 2006 Soil erosion is still one of major issues limiting agricultural and forestry productivity in Loess Plateau of China. Vegetation plays an important role in controlling soil erosion, but studies on modeling dynamics of vegetation and soil erosion and ...

, 2013 Soil CO2 efflux in forest and grassland over 5 years from 2005 to 2009 in a semiarid mountain area of the Loess plateau, China, was measured. The aim was to compare the soil respiration and its annual and inter-annual responses to the changes in soil ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

, 1991 The magnetic susceptibility of loess and paleosols in central China represents a proxy climate index closely related to past changes of precipitation and vegetation, and thus to summer monsoon intensity.

Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionIntensive opencast coal mining has severely degraded soil ecosystem structure and function. Although ecological reclamation enhances soil biodiversity and multifunctionality (SMF), the underlying mechanisms—particularly how reclamation ...

Mid to late Holocene climate changes and grazing activities in northern Loess Plateau, China
Despite the importance of pastoralism, as an alternative or adjunct to farming in China's long history, a clear understanding of the spreading routes and mechanisms of pastoralism in China is lacking.

Clay Mineralogy of Red Clay Deposits from the Central Carpathian Basin (Hungary): Implications for Plio/Pleistocene Chemical Weathering and Paleoclimate [PDF]
, 2013 Geochemical and mineralogical studies of palaeosols provide essential information for palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental interpretation of continental deposits and can present a proxy for palaeoclimate.

Boreas, EarlyView.A detailed morphometric analysis of 200 cirques across the western Putorana Plateau, central Siberia, was undertaken to investigate cirque development, reconstruct glaciers and infer palaeoclimatic conditions. Cirques are amphitheatre‐shaped landforms with mean length and widths of 936 and 1000 m, respectively, indicating a mature glacial landscape ...

Intensive soil erosion periods of Pleistocene on the Central South Loess Plateau
, 2011 Quantitative information on the soil erosion periods of Pleistocene on the Loess Plateau is rare. Here, we present results of the field work at Luochuan, Weinan, Tongchuan, Fufeng, Baoji, and Yangling, and a comparison between the SPECMAP, ODP-677 delta ...
