In this study, we investigate calcite stalagmites that form under evaporative conditions near cave entrances in areas that receive low precipitation (∼250 mm/year). Such stalagmites have yet to be explored in environmental magnetism, and are typically avoided in paleoclimatology due to complications in their geochemistry. Proxies based on detrital inclusions, such as speleothem palynology, have, however, proven favorable in these conditions. Here we report the first combination of speleothem magnetism with published pollen and charcoal records from two stalagmites formed over the last ∼2400 years at Webbs Cave, located on the ∼230,000 km<sup>2</sup> Nullarbor Plain in southern Australia. Rock magnetic experiments were performed using anhysteretic and isothermal remnant magnetizations, hysteresis loops, and low-temperature remanence measurement to investigate the concentration, phases, and grain size of the magnetic mineral assemblage. Analysis of detrital particles and speleothem porosity was undertaken using x-ray microtomography. The magnetic mineralogy of both stalagmites is typical of stalagmites globally in being dominated by magnetite or maghemite with dominant grain size distributions in the superparamagnetic to single-domain range, which occurs alongside goethite and potentially hematite. Both the low and high coercivity fractions co-vary and are consistent with local soils, furthering the link between stalagmite magnetism and pedogenesis. However, rather than increasing with precipitation, we infer that magnetic particle concentrations can increase during drier climates, based on correlations to the stalagmite pollen records. This likely results from increased detritus in available drip waters, along with increased deposition of localized cave dust during (dry) periods of slow stalagmite growth. While the magnetic particles in near-entrance stalagmites may derive from multiple transport modes, their local soil provenience forms the main control on their magnetic properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 109290"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143563781","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}

Here we used multi-proxy data—including dry bulk density, loss on ignition, plant macrofossils, diatoms, stable oxygen isotopes (δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>bulk</sub>) and C/N ratios—to understand the response of peatland vegetation and carbon accumulation to hydroclimate changes from two peat cores of a bamboo-sedge-<em>Sphagnum</em> peatland (27.621°N, 98.590°E; 3037 m asl) on the southern Hengduan Mountains at the southeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The cores were dated by AMS <sup>14</sup>C radiocarbon dates with a basal age of 4500 cal yr BP. The peatland was formed on an abandoned floodplain, as evidenced by the gravel and biotite at the base, likely in response to the weakening South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) in the late Holocene. From 4500 to 1300 cal yr BP, the gradual increase in the δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>bulk</sub> values—reflecting less intense convection in monsoon source regions and locally at time—indicates a continued weakening SASM and drying trend during the late Holocene. Furthermore, the low apparent carbon accumulation rate (aCAR) of 4 g C m<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> during that time is likely due to the great decomposition of dominant bamboo-derived organic matter. The higher δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>bulk</sub> value at 1300-800 cal yr BP—possibly corresponding to the “Medieval Climate Anomaly” (MCA)—than the Little Ice Age (LIA) at 800-200 cal yr BP indicates a drier MCA, supported also by high charcoal content, low diatom abundance and high C/N ratios at our sites. The large difference of 8‰ in the δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>bulk</sub> values between the MCA and LIA suggests that local hydrological processes might have amplified the effect of monsoon-mediated hydroclimate on δ<sup>18</sup>O variations. The higher aCAR during the MCA at 15 and 28 g C m<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> for two cores than during the LIA at 13 and 18 g C m<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> suggests that the relatively dry climate during the MCA promotes plant production and peat accumulation in this terrestrialized, still-wet and then sedge-dominated peatland. The increase of <em>Sphagnum</em> and other mosses and high δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>bulk</sub> values during the last 70 years reveal a dry local environment that is also confirmed by the decreasing precipitation and weakening SASM in instrumental climate records.

Using a multi-scale, interdisciplinary approach - combining detailed field investigations (stratigraphic, geomorphological, structural, and paleoseismological analyses), tephrochronological and OSL dating, and reassessment of macroseismic intensity distribution from archival sources - this study identifies a possible source for these earthquakes. It corresponds to a ∼45 km normal fault system composed by two main branches (Eastern Calore Fault and Western Calore Fault) with primary segments trending E-W to ESE-WNW and dipping N- to NNE. Segments extend along the southern border of both eastern and western Calore River sub-basins and are partially connected by NNW-SSE to N-S trending, east-dipping, transfer zone fault splays. Although the morphostructural evidence of Quaternary tectonic activity is unevenly expressed in both sub-basins, they share a similar Middle Pleistocene-to-Holocene morpho-sedimentary evolution, suggesting a common driving factor, ascribable to the sub-coeval activity of the fault segments delimiting both sub-basins. On a short-time scale, this study provides the first evidence of a post-14 ka occurrence of a paleoearthquake with a surface displacement ≳0.7 m, as well as of a decametric off-set affecting post-9 ka sediments.

By integrating fossil diatom assemblages with cladoceran, geochemical, and sedimentological proxies, we reveal how differential mechanisms influenced diatom responses from post-glacial lake formation to early Holocene treeline shifts. Our results indicate abrupt, phase-dependent shifts in diatom and cladoceran communities during major climatic transitions, particularly at the Late Glacial/Holocene boundary. These regime shifts were likely driven by cascading effects of glacial retreat, soil development and subsequent increases in organic matter inputs associated with climate warming and treeline migration. Notably, while diatoms responded quickly to initial climate warming, cladocerans exhibited a delayed response, reflecting its greater sensitivity to catchment vegetation stabilization. These findings highlight the attendant changes in climate, vegetation, and lake ecosystems on millennial time scales, illustrating the tight biogeochemical coupling between terrestrial succession and lake dynamics during glacial retreat and landscape colonization.

The NAR was manifested in the cultivation and domestication of wild plants across the ‘Fertile Crescent’ from around the 11th millennium BP. Here, we investigate the environmental conditions that enabled the establishment of the first agricultural settlements in the southern Jordan Valley and compare these settings to the northern segments of the ‘Fertile Crescent’ (northern Mesopotamia). In particular we investigated the mineralogical composition of surface cover soils and the hydrological conditions in the Gilgal Basin where a few of the early agriculture settlements of the late Natufian-PPNA cultures were established. We focused our study on the Salibiya sedimentary section (and archeological sites) in the Gilgal Basin, where a sequence of fine detritus sediments accumulated during the post glacial to the early Holocene period. OSL ages from the Salibiya sedimentary section lie between ∼24 and 11 ka BP, spanning the time of Lake Lisan retreat from its highest stands of ∼180 ± 10 m below mean sea level (= m bmsl) to below 320 m bmsl. The Salibiya sedimentary section consists of silty detritus sediments that comprise recycled mountain soils washed from the adjacent Samarian Mountains to the Gilgal Basin. The ‘mountain soils’ in their turn consist of desert dust grains (e.g., quartz, calcite, clays) that were blown to the Levant region from the north Sahara deserts, mostly during arid periods. Enhanced amounts of desert dusts were blown to the region during hyperarid periods that coincided with the Heinrich Stadials (HS) in the northern latitudes, e.g., at ∼24 ka, ∼16ka and ∼13ka. The hyperarid and dusty periods (which were harsh for the early-Natufian hunter-gatherers) were followed by wetter intervals when fresh groundwater activity resumed in the Judean and Samarian Mountains, e.g., at ∼16-15 and ∼12-11 ka. The availability of fertile ‘mountain soils’ and water during and after the Younger Dryas provided a favorable environmental setting that supported the establishment of early agriculture settlements in the Gilgal Basin (and others) in the Jordan Valley and impacted the transformation from the Epipalaeolithic Early Natufian hunter-gatherers to the Late Natufian and Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and B (PPNA, B) cultures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"355 ","pages":"Article 109265"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143510979","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}
