TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution composite proxy record for the Indian Ocean summer monsoon spanning around 12,000 years based on the δ13C time series of both a single plant species (Carex mulieensis) remains cellulose and the total plant assemblage cellulose in the Hongyuan peat bog from the Tibet Plateau was presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new peat delta C-13 proxy record for humidity or precipitation based on C3 plants from northeastern China is reported, which reveals two times of significant climate shift and eight severe drought periods during the past 6000 years, all of which have the nature of widespread global occurrence.

TL;DR: The record indicates a slowly but steadily increasing trend of summer rainfall in the AECA over the past 8500 years, and demonstrates that even in very dry eastern-Central Asia, the climate can become wetter under global warming.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature variation trend inferred from δ18O of peat cellulose in a peat core from Hongyuan (eastern Qinghai-Tibet plateau, southwestern China) is similar to the atmospheric 14C concentration trend and the modeled solar output trend.

TL;DR: In this article, the absorbance value time series of the alkali-extraction of Hongyuan peat from the eastern Tibetan Plateau is determined, and it is used as the proxy indicator for the humification degree of peat.
