Journal ArticleDOI
Flickering gives early warning signals of a critical transition to a eutrophic lake state
Rong Wang,John A. Dearing,Peter G. Langdon,Enlou Zhang,Xiangdong Yang,Vasilis Dakos,Vasilis Dakos,Marten Scheffer +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that if environmental regimes are sufficiently affected by large external impacts that flickering is induced, then early warning signals of transitions in modern social–ecological systems may be stronger, and hence easier to identify, than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoliths as quantitative indicators for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions in China I: phytolith-based transfer functions
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the distribution of phytolith assemblages in China from surface soil samples at 243 sites along significant ecological and climatic gradients to develop transfer functions for quantitative reconstruction of palaeoenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Holocene forcing of the Asian winter and summer monsoon as evidenced by proxy records from the northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Xingqi Liu,Hailiang Dong,Xiangdong Yang,Ulrike Herzschuh,Enlou Zhang,Jan-Berend W Stuut,Yongbo Wang +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a decadal-resolution record of total organic carbon (TOC) and grainsize retrieved from a composite piston core from Kusai Lake, NW China, provides solid evidence for decadal to centennial-scale Asian monsoon variability for the Northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau during the last 3770-yr.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern pollen distributions in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and the development of transfer functions for reconstructing Holocene environmental changes
Houyuan Lu,Naiqin Wu,Kam-biu Liu,Liping Zhu,Xiangdong Yang,Tandong Yao,Luo Wang,Quan Li,Xingqi Liu,Caiming Shen,Xiaoqiang Li,Guobang Tong,Hui Jiang +12 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the distribution of modern pollen assemblages in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China, based on surface soil samples collected at 1202 sites along an altitudinal gradient of 10 -5500 m asl, where mean annual precipitation (MAP) ranges from 12 to 1840 mm and mean annual temperature (MAT) from -7 to 21.5 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface sediment diatom assemblages and epilimnetic total phosphorus in large, shallow lakes of the Yangtze floodplain: their relationships and implications for assessing long-term eutrophication
TL;DR: In this article, a diatom-based inference model was developed to predict the onset and development of eutrophication at any site in the Yangtze floodplain in China.
