The loess stratigraphic boundary at the Pleistocene/Holocene transition defined by the magnetic susceptibility (MS) has previously been assumed to be synchronous with the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2/1 boundary, and approximately time-synchronous at different sections across the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). However, although this assumption has been used as a basis for proxy-age model of Chines...

As a key global climate and dust archive, the nature of Chinese loess generation, transport deposition remains debated. The lack consensus on dynamics from sources to leeward regions fundamentally limits interpretation preserved past record. Here, we investigate chronostratigraphic variability aeolian deposits in upwind modern Loess Plateau (CLP) attempt understand that potentially affects down...

Typical patterns of the Late Pleistocene loess–paleosol units are preserved in Novo Orahovo brickyard, Northern Serbia. Presented preliminary luminescence chronology supports chronostratigraphic interpretations global isotopic marine climate reconstructions. Magnetic susceptibility and sedimentological evidence exhibit general similarities with oxygen-isotope stratigraphy. These records provide...

Three soils in the Loess Plateau were selected to explore the potential of applying the decision support system for agrotechnology transfer (DSSAT) crop models in the areas and to test the CERES-Wheat model under DSSAT shell. The predicted maturity dates and grain yields were similar to the actual measured values. The manural loessial soil had the highest productivity. The loessial soil had the...
