Millennial- to centennial-scale anti-phase relationship between the Westerlies and the East Asian summer monsoon and its cultural response along the Silk Roads after a great earthquake in southern Altay ∼ 3500 cal a BP

Jiawei Fan et al.

Summary: This study establishes a paleoclimatic sequence of the late Holocene in the Altay region based on the analysis of sediment core from Yileimu Lake. The findings suggest that the climate changes in the Westerlies-dominated Asia and the East Asian summer monsoon region are generally anti-phase and may have affected trans-Eurasian cultural exchanges.

A ∼28-kyr Continuous Lacustrine Paleoseismic Record of the Intraplate, Slow-Slipping Fuyun Fault in Northwest China

Jiawei Fan et al.

Summary: The Fuyun Fault is a typical intraplate, slow-slipping fault that has experienced multiple large earthquakes. New research suggests that the recurrence interval of these earthquakes may be longer than previously thought based on analysis of offset landforms.

A 1600-year record of eolian activity from Jili Lake in northern Xinjiang

Mingrui Qiang et al.

Summary: This study presents a lacustrine record of eolian activity over the past 1600 years from Jili Lake in northern Xinjiang. The results show that wind strength plays a key role in determining the magnitude of dust emission, while arid climate also has some influence. Furthermore, the intensity and extent of the Siberian High and the North Atlantic Oscillation have a significant impact on eolian dust activity in arid central Asia.

Effects of human activities on mountain forest in northern China during the middle Holocene

Xiuxiu Ren et al.

Summary: This study reconstructs the Holocene vegetation history of a mountain region in northern China using pollen and charcoal data. The results indicate significant human impacts on the natural landscapes of the study region since approximately 4.8 ka, characterized by a decrease in temperate deciduous forest coverage, increased sedimentary charcoal concentrations, and an increase in the number of archaeological sites.

Late Holocene transition from natural to anthropogenic forcing of vegetation change in the semi-arid region of northern China

Guoqiang Ding et al.

Summary: Understanding the historical changes in vegetation under the influence of natural climate change and human activities in the semi-arid region of northern China is crucial for predicting future vegetation change and addressing ecological problems. This study reconstructed the vegetation succession in the region since the mid-Holocene using fossil pollen samples and carbon dating. The results indicate that natural climate change primarily controlled vegetation development during 8-1 ka, while human activities became the dominant driver of vegetation change after approximately 1 ka.

Holocene fire records and their drivers in the westerlies-dominated Central Asia

Dongliang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study reconstructed the Holocene fire history in Central Asia by synthesizing existing sedimentary charcoal records and assessed the relative importance of climatic and anthropogenic factors on fire trends. The results revealed that fire activity had increased since approximately 7.9 cal. yr BP in Central Asia, with periods of high fire activity in the early-middle Holocene and a decreasing trend in the late Holocene, influenced by temperature and wetting-induced biomass burning.

Anthropogenic mountain forest degradation and soil erosion recorded in the sediments of Mayinghai Lake in northern China

Xiaozhong Huang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the vegetation in the mountain region of northern China has undergone four stages of change over the past 4500 years, with significant impact from human activities. After 1500 CE, there was a drastic decrease in tree pollen frequencies, leading to large-scale deforestation, possibly due to intensified human activity and cooling climate.

Late Holocene Climate Changes in the Altai Region Based on a First High-Resolution Biomarker Isotope Record From Lake Khar Nuur

Marcel Bliedtner et al.

Summary: The Late Holocene in the eastern Eurasian Steppe and Altai Region saw a transition to nomadic pastoralism, with periods of increased aridity followed by warm and wet conditions. These favorable climate conditions likely facilitated the widespread dispersal of nomadic pastoralism in the region.

Summary: HadCRUT5 is a new version of a global surface temperature data set, incorporating sea-surface temperature and land near-surface air temperature measurements. Two variants are produced for different applications, with the combination of revised input data sets and statistical analysis resulting in greater warming of the global average over the entire record period.

Anthropogenic impacts on Late Holocene land-cover change and floristic biodiversity loss in tropical southeastern Asia

Zhuo Zheng et al.

Summary: Research shows that the intensification of rice agriculture in Southern China and Southeast Asia during the Late Holocene led to extensive deforestation, significant changes in vegetation composition, and a reduction in arboreal diversity. Particularly, ancient tree species shrank in the face of paddy rice farming and human disturbance.

A 450-year warming and wetting climate in southern Altay inferred from a Yileimu Lake sediment core

Jiawei Fan et al.

Summary: Paleoclimatic records from lake sediment cores in arid central Asia suggest a humid climate in the Little Ice Age compared to the contemporary warm period. A high-resolution study of a sediment core from Yileimu Lake indicates a warming and wetting trend in the southern Altay regional climate over the last five centuries, potentially driven by increasing snow/ice meltwater, rising atmospheric temperatures, and a decreasing winter North Atlantic Oscillation index.

The influence of ice sheet and solar insolation on Holocene moisture evolution in northern Central Asia

Jianghu Lan et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the moisture conditions in northern Central Asia during the early Holocene were controlled by the position of the mid-latitude Westerlies, while persistent drought conditions during the middle Holocene were caused by the northward migration of these Westerlies. The recent southward movement has resulted in a relatively wetter Central Asia region.

The link between climate change and biodiversity of lacustrine inhabitants and terrestrial plant communities of the Uvs Nuur Basin (Mongolia) during the last three millennia

Natalia Rudaya et al.

Summary: The paper focuses on changes in biodiversity, the environment, and human activity in the Uvs Nuur Basin over the past three millennia using biological and geochemical proxies from Bayan Nuur Lake. The study found that climate factors significantly influence the diversity of vegetation, chironomids, and Cladocera in the region, while diatoms are less affected. Additionally, the research indicates that there have been significant changes in diatom and chironomid communities due to the fluctuation of lake ecology.

Summary: The study reconstructed Holocene temperature changes in Central Asia and found that warm and cold climate events had impacts on human activities. Unusually warm climate promoted human occupation of the Altai Mountains, while cold events may have triggered southward human migration out of the region.

Global acceleration in rates of vegetation change over the past 18,000 years

Ondrej Mottl et al.

Summary: Over the past 18,000 years, global vegetation has undergone significant changes due to both climate fluctuations and increasing human activities. Utilizing fossil pollen sequences and statistical methods, researchers have observed a remarkable acceleration in vegetation compositional change globally, starting between 4.6 and 2.9 thousand years ago, surpassing any previous changes over the last 18,000 years.

High altitude hunting, climate change, and pastoral resilience in eastern Eurasia

William Taylor et al.

Summary: The transition from hunting to herding in Mongolia and Eastern Eurasia transformed the region into a key social and economic center of the ancient world. Through archaeological surveys of melting ice margins in the Altai Mountains, a continuous record of more than 3500 years of human activity has been revealed, showing the significant role of big-game hunting and exploitation of alpine ice during the emergence of mobile pastoralism. Extensive ice melting and loss of wildlife in recent decades pose a serious threat to the future viability of herding lifeways and the archaeological record of hunting in montane zones.
