  • Grain Size and Pollen of Sediments in Wanghu Lake (Central China) Linked to Hydro-Environmental Changes

The implications of such measures, however, remain unclear, since watershed hydrology and the related transfer of materials to the lake are affected by local climate variables, hydrological shifts, and vegetation cover variables. Sediment from Wanghu Lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River have apparently been affected by land cover changes and lake-river system transitions caused by a sluice gate built at Fuchi in 1967. These changes influenced the watershed hydrology, thereby confounding paleoclimatic and paleohydrologic interpretations by proxy records in sediment cores. We collected sediment cores from the center of Wanghu Lake and analyzed trends in pollen and physical properties through sedimentary records to investigate land cover changes and hydrological transitions during the past 90 years. The grain size of the sediment core increased with precipitation and the significant relationships between pollen and grain size after 1967 indicated that sediment transfer to the lake was controlled by rainfall and land cover changes due to human-induced deforestation and farming in the lake catchment.

Monsoon system and westerly circulation, to which climate change responds differently, are two important components of global atmospheric circulation, interacting with each other in the mid-to-low latitudes. Relevant researches on global millennial scale climate change in monsoon and westerlies regions are mostly devoted to multi-proxy analyses of lakes, stalagmites, ice cores, marine and eolian sediments. Different responses from these proxies to long-term environmental change make understanding climate change pattern in monsoon and westerlies regions difficult.

  • Our Teacher.Pdf
    Clearwisdom.net 1 Our Teacher Introduction In the early 1990’s, Mr. Li Hongzhi (respectfully referred to as “Master” or “Teacher” by His students) embarked on the auspicious goal of imparting the great teachings of Falun Dafa to the world. Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a practice of what the Chinese call “self-cultivation.” Falun Dafa students perform slow-moving, graceful exercises and, more importantly, apply the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance to their daily lives. Starting in 1992, Master Li traveled all over China for more than two years, giving over fifty series of lectures on the practice in cities throughout the country. The classes were the most inexpensive of their type in the country, but what students received was priceless—they gained a true cultivation practice that went far beyond the realm of just keeping healthy and fit. Master Li participated in the 1992 and 1993 Oriental Health Expos in Beijing, earning several awards. Students quickly found that during the course of the lecture series, their bodies were being purified, reaching a state of optimum health. This initial benefit led many to seriously look into the practice, accounting for its extremely rapid growth. By 1998, over 100 million people had embraced the practice in China alone. Currently, Falun Dafa is practiced in over 60 countries around the world. In the course of Master Li’s selfless effort to spread the practice, many could see that He was no ordinary qigong master—He genuinely exemplified the greatness of the practice. Master Li was truly guiding people to higher realms of awareness.

During the last glacial maximum, some of these Available online 17 November 2009 western Chinese deserts again experienced wetter conditions; however, at the same time the sandy lands in the eastern Chinese desert belt experienced an activation of aeolian dunes. While interpretations of the mid- Keywords: Holocene environment in the deserts of China are controversial, it is quite likely that it was more humid not Dune only in the eastern areas influenced by monsoon climate systems but also in the western deserts where Desert Lacustrine record moisture is currently associated with westerlies. Evaluation of lacustrine records in the lakes recharged by Late Quaternary dryland rivers and the complex interactions of these systems, as well as other paleoenvironmental proxies Holocene such as the Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae ratio, should be interpreted with greater caution. Facing the China highlighted uncertainties in our understanding of climate changes in Chinese deserts, it is hoped that this special issue will improve our knowledge considerably.

  • Ancient Great Wall Building Materials Reveal Paleoenvironmental Changes in Northwestern China
    Ancient Great Wall Building Materials Reveal Paleoenvironmental Changes in Northwestern China Robert Patalano ( [email protected] ) Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9075-4556 Jing Hu Chinese Academy of Sciences Qing Leng Bryant University Weiguo Liu Chinese Academy of Sciences Huanye Wang Chinese Academy of Sciences Patrick Roberts Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History Michael Storozum The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Lin Yang National Museum of China Hong Yang Bryant University Article Keywords: Great Wall, plant material, construction DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-390056/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/28 Abstract Plant material used in the construction of segments and beacon towers of the ancient Great Wall in northwestern China contain untapped potential for revealing paleoenvironmental conditions. Here, we characterize the molecular preservation and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions of common reeds (Phragmites) collected from Great Wall fascines dated to the Han Dynasty in today’s Gansu and Xinjiang provinces using a combination of chromatographic techniques and isotope analyses. Our data demonstrates that ancient reeds were harvested from local habitats that were more diverse than exist today. The isotope data also capture differential rates of environmental deterioration along the eastern margin of the Tarim Basin, leading to the intense evaporative stress on modern plants. This study demonstrates the wealth of environmental and climate information obtainable from site- speciƒc organic building material of ancient walls, which have received considerably less attention than the iconic brick and stone masonry walls of the later Ming Dynasty.
