TL;DR: The authors used selected proxy-based reconstructions of different climate variables, together with state-of-the-art time series of natural forcings (orbital variations, solar activity variations, large tropical volcanic eruptions, land cover and greenhouse gases), underpinned by results from GCMs and Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMICs), to establish a comprehensive explanatory framework for climate changes from the mid-Holocene (MH) to pre-industrial time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstructed annual precipitation for the last 2,500 years in northeastern Qinghai from living and archaeological juniper trees, and found that a dominant feature of the precipitation of this area is a high degree of variability in mean rainfall at annual, decadal, and centennial scales, with many wet and dry periods that are corroborated by other paleoclimatic indicators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of the palynological and diatom analyses of the sediment core recovered in Hoton-Nur Lake (48°37′18″N, 88°20′45″E, 2083m) in 2004.

TL;DR: The last interglacial (LI) and Holocene changes in annual precipitation (P ann ), the mean temperature of the warmest (T w ) and coldest ( T c ) month and the moisture index ( α ) were reconstructed from continuous pollen records from Lake Baikal as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A total of 51,074 archaeological sites from the early Neolithic to the early Iron Age (c. 8000-500 BC) were analyzed over space and time in this article.
