TLDR
In this article, it was shown that smectite is the dominant pedogenetically formed mineral in the fine clay fraction in Central European Holocene and Pleistocene loess soils as well as in relict loess soil in the central and northern part of the Great Plains of the U.S.About:

Bimodal grain-size distribution of Chinese loess, and its palaeoclimatic implications
Donghuai Sun,Jan Bloemendal,David K. Rea,Zhisheng An,Jef Vandenberghe,Huayu Lu,Ruixia Su,Tungsheng Liu +7 more
TL;DR: Grain-size analysis indicates that Chinese loess generally shows a bimodal distribution with a coarse and a fine component, which is interpreted to be the product of dust storms generated by low-altitude northwesterly winds as discussed by the authors.

Correlation of loess–paleosol sequences in East and Central Asia with SE Central Europe: towards a continental Quaternary pedostratigraphy and paleoclimatic history
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the deep-sea oxygen isotope record to reconstructing the history of the Brunhes epoch and the Matuyama epoch at Karamaydan, Tadjikistan.

Grain-size and accumulation rate records from Late Cenozoic aeolian sequences in northern China: Implications for variations in the East Asian winter monsoon and westerly atmospheric circulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstruct the history of westerly and monsoonal circulations in northern China using variations in sediment grain-size and accumulation rate at four loess sections in the central Chinese Loess Plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic proxy climate results from the Duanjiapo loess section, southernmost extremity of the Chinese loess plateau
TL;DR: The magnetic assemblage is dominated by a mixture of pseudo-single domain (PSD) and multidomain magnetite with associated superparamagnetic (SP) grains of either magnetite or maghemite in the paleosols and weathered loess horizons as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monsoon and westerly circulation changes recorded in the late Cenozoic aeolian sequences of Northern China
TL;DR: In this article, aeolian sediment in Northern China is generally composed of a coarse component (ca: 10-70 μm) and a fine overlapping component (c.

Loess stratigraphy in central China
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the stage system of the oxygen isotope signal extended back to the Gauss-Matuyama boundary was proposed, and the earliest loess layers between 2.5 and 2.3 Ma were found in central China.

Micromorphology and genesis of paleosols in the Luochuan loess section, China: pedostratigraphic and environmental implications
A. Bronger,Th. Heinkele +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a complete Loess-paleosol sequence in the Potou section near Luochuan covering the entire Pleistocene back to 2.5 Ma in a much more complete sequence than any known from Europe or North America.

Thermoluminescence dating of Loess-paleosol sequences in the carpathian basin (East-Central Europe): A suggestion for a revised chronology
TL;DR: In this article, thermoluminescence (TL) dating of the loess-paleosol sequences in the Carpathian Basin, suggests that the conventional chronology of Mende-Base soil (soil F5) representing the Riss-Wurm interglacial is not tenable, because it is much older.

Pleistocene climatic changes and landscape evolution in the Kashmir Basin, India: Paleopedologic and chronostratigraphic studies
TL;DR: In this paper, a chronostratigraphy of the late Pleistocene loess-paleosol sequences was presented, which indicated three warm and mostly humid climatic episodes between ca. 80,000 and 50,000 yr B.P.
