Abstract

âº The Lanzhou pollen sequence indicates a 60-46-ka warm and 46-27-ka cooling climate. âº The result correlates well with many climate records around the world. âº The Lanzhou pollen record reveals distinct climate deterioration since â¼40Â ka. âº Insolation decline and feedbacks of albedo and vegetation seems important. âº 40-30-ka warm-humid or humid climate in Asia is regional or local instead overall.
