East Asian summer monsoon precipitation has a globally unique δ 18 O signature characterized
by low δ 18 O values related to the precipitation “amount effect”. We explore the history …

The Early Cretaceous is an important time of transition in Earth history, marked by a succession
of oceanic anoxic events and carbon cycle perturbations that drove changes on land and …

Pedogenic siderite is a carbonate mineral that forms in the reducing groundwaters of poorly
drained soils and paleosols in zonal climatic belts with strongly positive precipitation–…

This study aims to investigate the global hydrologic cycle during the mid-Cretaceous
greenhouse by utilizing the oxygen isotopic composition of pedogenic carbonates (calcite and …

Two sections from Early Cretaceous lacustrine strata of the Xiagou Formation from the
Changma Basin in Gansu Province, China, are correlated based on their carbon isotopic …

A widespread marine microbialite and underlying truncation surface occur in Permian–Triassic
sections of South China. We interpret the microbialite to have formed as a shallow, open-…

The Yellow River transports a large amount of sediment and particulate organic carbon (POC),
which is thought to mainly derive from erosion of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). …

This paper presents breakthroughs in the chronostratigraphy of the heretofore poorly constrained
Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, which is an important record of …

Bone is susceptible to early diagenesis, and its carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions
have been suggested to reflect conditions in the soil environment and shallow subsurface …

Speleothem 13C has been taken as an indicator of the history of rocky desertification, and
changes in 13C have been thought to reflect the transition between C3 and C4 surface …
