Journal ArticleDOI
The impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture in China
Shilong Piao,Philippe Ciais,Yao Huang,Zehao Shen,Shushi Peng,Junsheng Li,Liping Zhou,Hongyan Liu,Yuecun Ma,Yihui Ding,Pierre Friedlingstein,Pierre Friedlingstein,Chunzhen Liu,Kun Tan,Yongqiang Yu,Tianyi Zhang,Jingyun Fang +16 more
TL;DR: It is found that notwithstanding the clear warming that has occurred in China in recent decades, current understanding does not allow a clear assessment of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on China’s water resources and agriculture and therefore China's ability to feed its people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partly pedogenic origin of magnetic variations in Chinese loess
TL;DR: The authors showed that palaeosols are characterized by much finer magnetic grain size assemblages than are the intervening loess units, which suggests that a simple model based on constant magnetic influx and dilution by variable amounts of non-magnetic loess is inadequate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Journey to the east: diverse routes and variable flowering times for wheat and barley en route to prehistoric China
Xinyi Liu,Diane L. Lister,Zhijun Zhao,Cameron A. Petrie,Xiongsheng Zeng,Penelope J. Jones,Richard A. Staff,Richard A. Staff,Anil K. Pokharia,Jennifer Bates,R.N. Singh,Steven A. Weber,Giedre Motuzaite Matuzeviciute,Guanghui Dong,Haiming Li,Hongliang Lu,Hongen Jiang,Jianxin Wang,Jian Ma,Duo Tian,Guiyun Jin,Liping Zhou,Xiaohong Wu,Martin K. Jones +23 more
TL;DR: Investigating when barley cultivation dispersed from southwest Asia to regions of eastern Asia and how the eastern spring barley evolved in this context indicates that the eastern dispersals of wheat and barley were distinct in both space and time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal reconstructions of changes in the Asian palaeomonsoon: A new mineral magnetic approach.
TL;DR: In this article, a new quantitative approach is proposed for estimating palaeoprecipitation across the Chinese Loess Plateau, where the concentration of ferrimagnetic iron oxide minerals in nine modern soil types (represented by 37 individual soil profiles) is strongly correlated with this contemporary rainfall gradient.
Journal Article
Fossil mammals resolve regional patterns of Eurasian climate change over 20 million years
Mikael Fortelius,Jussi T. Eronen,Jukka Jernvall,Liping Liu,Diana Pushkina,Juhani Rinne,Alexey S. Tesakov,Inesa Vislobokova,Zhaoqun Zhang,Liping Zhou +9 more
TL;DR: Fossil teeth of terrestrial plant-eating mammals offer a new, quasi-quantitative proxy for environmental aridity that resolves previously unseen regional features across the Eurasian continent from 24 to 2 million years ago.
