Using pollen and fungal spore fossil records from a profile since mid-Holocene in the Zoige Basin, the history and controlling factors of vegetation change and grazing activities were revealed. The results showed that the history of vegetation change and grazing activities in the Zoige Basin could be divided into three stages: (ⅰ) During the period of 8.5–5.8 ka, alpine meadow dominated by Cyperaceae developed in the Zoige Basin with the highest tree pollen content and the best hydrothermal conditions. The low concentration of coprophilous fungal spore at this stage was probably related to wild herbivores. (ⅱ) During the period of 5.8–3.6 ka, the alpine meadow dominated by Cyperaceae developed further, the tree pollen content decreased slightly, and the climate began to change to drought, but the overall climate was still warm and humid. At this stage, coprophilous fungal spores occurred continuously and their concentration gradually increased, suggesting that there were human activities in the basin and grazing activities began at about 5.8ka. (ⅲ) During about 3.6–0 ka, the vegetation type changed to the desert steppe dominated by Chenopodiaceae and Asteraceae, and after 0.5 ka, the alpine meadow redeveloped. The pollen content of trees decreased significantly, and the climate was mainly cool and dry. Grazing activities, as represented by the concentration of coprophilous fungi spores, began to increase gradually after about 3.6 ka. There was a reverse correlation between grazing activities and the dry and cool climate in this stage. The dry and cool climate was one of the key factors to promote the development of grazing in the Zoige Basin. The research results further complement the evolution of human activities and environmental background in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, and have certain reference significance for understanding the impact of climate change on human survival strategies in the plateau environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 109330"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, benthic foraminifera and Iceberg rafted debris (IRD) of the Central South Pacific (CSP), International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1540 are examined, and compared with existing Nd isotope records (ε<sub>Nd</sub>) from the South and North Atlantic, and δ<sup>13</sup>C of South Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific to evaluate the properties and influence of CSP bottom water during THC crisis in comparison to pre and post-THC crisis. Our data suggests variability in CSP bottom water conditions from oxic to suboxic throughout the MPT.

Evidence of a strong bottom water current with a high oxic species population and low IRD is found at MIS 31. During the THC crisis, between MIS 25 and 23, a sharp decline in the coarse sediment fraction (&gt;63 μm), oxic species and <em>Globocassidulina subglobosa</em> population is observed, which suggests sluggish bottom water at the CSP. However, during MIS 22, bottom water was relatively strong, marked by an increase in <em>G. subglobosa</em> and <em>Nuttallides umbonifera</em> and oxic species abundances. This suggests stronger southern source bottom water, which may reach up to the North Atlantic due to reduced northern sourced bottom water mass and is consistent with the interpretation of observed ɛ<sub>Nd</sub> value.

The region's long zooarchaeological research history and especially the data gathered during the last two decades are now sufficient to support a study of Neanderthal and modern human subsistence and mobility patterns. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the available zooarchaeological data from the southern Caucasus and the Zagros/Alborz. Using abundance indices of animal groups and taphonomic variables, I test the null hypothesis that humans hunted the available game proportionally to its abundance on the landscape. To this end, the natural abundance baselines were extrapolated from bioclimatic variables and nonhuman-generated Pleistocene faunas.

While acknowledging the region's archaeological variability, the study showed that the Middle and Upper Paleolithic habitations in the southern Caucasus and Zagros/Alborz were primarily ephemeral, attesting to low site habitation intensity and little, if any, population growth. It seems that all groups inhabiting the region could afford to practice highly selective game procurement strategies, exploiting vast territories and occupying many short-term camps, some strategically positioned to intercept migrating game. Both Middle and Upper Paleolithic populations consisted of small and highly mobile groups that sporadically inhabited the rugged landscape; they lived under harsh climatic conditions well under the environmental carrying capacity. This scenario contributes to viewing mountainous southwest Asia as a geographic cul-de-sac during the Pleistocene; it demonstrates that regardless of their biological and cultural backgrounds, human groups adopted similar behaviors in accordance with the regions' natural conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 109325"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143715576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The identification and geochemical characterization of cryptically preserved volcanic ash layers (cryptotephra) in archaeological sites can alleviate this problem, and in the southern Caucasus and Armenian Highlands has allowed for the correlation of lithostratigraphic units at Palaeolithic sites in the two geographic regions. Compositionally distinct tephras (isochrons) allow specific stratigraphic layers to be linked temporally at the sites of Ortvale Klde (OK, Georgia) and Lusakert-1 (LKT-1, Armenia). The ∼30 ka V-18/Nemrut Formation tephra from the Nemrut volcano, eastern Türkiye is correlated with an Upper Palaeolithic layer at OK and a Late Middle Palaeolithic layer at LKT-1. This isochron suggests the long-term regional coexistence of technologically distinct populations, and the late survival of Late Middle Palaeolithic hominins. These results appear to capture a critical and until now elusive moment in hominin evolution, a period when two distinct tool-making groups, generally assumed to be <em>Homo sapiens</em> and Neanderthals, occupied the same region and likely interacted. However, careful comparison of results with site-specific sedimentological, taphonomic, archaeological, and chronometric data throw these correlations into question. Closer consideration of newly available glass geochemistry for Nemrut suggests further correlations: OK Layer 4c correlates to the V-30 tephra in Lake Van (∼42–37 ka); LKT-1 Lithostratigraphic Unit (LU) 4 correlates to both the ∼60 ka V-45/Çekmece and ∼62 ka V-51/Ahlat Pumice 6; and the younger LKT-1 LU 3 also correlates to the V-51, but with a different compositional range to those seen in the older LU 4. The only way to reconcile the range of compositions observed is that there are additional Nemrut eruptions that have similar glass chemistries to the deposits characterized, and that our current understanding of Nemrut's eruption stratigraphy is incomplete thus hampering our ability to resolve the age(s) of these distal tephra deposits with confidence. Therefore, while the analysis of cryptotephra holds great promise for understanding the timing of key evolutionary events, its application in the southern Caucasus and Armenian Highlands, and elsewhere, must be predicated on the careful consideration of site-specific contextual data rather than chemistry alone.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 109292"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the long-term variability of ISM precipitation from the last glacial to the present remains a subject of major debate. One debate concerns the precipitation change driven by the ISM from Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 2 to MIS 1, while another focuses on the varying degrees of monsoonal rainfall intensity across different warm periods (MIS 3 and MIS 1). In this study, we reconstruct high-resolution palynological records from two sediment cores (YDY10 and E87-32B) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) to explore changes in regional vegetation and ISM precipitation since the last glacial period. The results show that the concentrations of terrigenous pollen-spore decrease with increasing offshore distance, primarily reflecting pollen-spore input and transportation from the Ganges-Brahmaputra (G-B) river basins. Significant shifts in evergreen broad-leaved pollen at ∼40.5 ka and ∼12 ka indicate notable changes in hydrodynamic forces and intense precipitation, reflecting strong ISM activity. Data from core E87-32B indicate that ISM precipitation during the early to middle Holocene (MIS 1) was higher than during MIS 3, likely influenced by summer solar insolation (SSI) on an orbital timescale. From the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the middle Holocene in MIS 1, the region experienced a transformation from extensive herbaceous vegetation to tropical and subtropical broad-leaved forests, followed by millennial-scale fluctuations in ISM precipitation in both cores. In core YDY10, broad-leaved forest pollen shows three distinct low values corresponding to Heinrich 1 (H1), Younger Dryas (YD), and the 8.2 ka cold and dry events, respectively, consistent with variations in the weakened Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Meanwhile, in core E87-32B, the broad-leaved pollen percentage increase from the LGM to the early and middle Holocene, indicating stronger ISM precipitation and G-B river input. This suggests that the ISM variation in this period was driven by AMOC and other factors, such as river input. Overall, this study offers a comprehensive perspective on past climate and vegetation dynamics around the BoB region on orbital and millennial timescales and contributes to a better understanding of the controls on monsoonal rainfall under different boundary conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 109314"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143697683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The salinity and seasonal icing of lakes play a crucial role in brGDGT calibration, with calibrations varying between tropical, mid-high latitude, and freshwater versus non-freshwater lacustrine sediments, which complicates their universality. Furthermore, changes in a lake's salinity and seasonal icing during glacial and interglacial cycles can influence the accuracy of paleotemperature reconstructions across different time periods. In this study, we present improved global calibrations based on a comprehensive lacustrine brGDGT dataset consisting of 949 samples, utilizing methods such as linear regression for the fractional abundance of key brGDGTs and support vector machine regression with a linear kernel. The calibrations yield root mean square errors ranging from approximately 2.0 °C–2.6 °C for the test dataset, closely matching those obtained from the training dataset, indicating that the results are not overfitted. These calibrations show improved performance when applied to lake sediment sequences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"357 ","pages":"Article 109319"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143696652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
