We find the southern Chilean margin to be highly sensitive to terrestrial ice sheet extent, upper continental slope contour current velocity, and millennial-scale Southern Hemisphere climate change. We determine that the extent of the Patagonian Ice Sheet readily fluctuates, advancing to the Chilean continental shelf edge at least 22 times over the last 160,000 years and often retreating into the Chilean fjords. We reconstruct the flow speed of the Cape Horn Current, a northern branch of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, using sortable silt and find it declines during glacial periods by 51% but rebounds during millennial-scale Antarctic warm periods.

Climate warming has significantly degraded the YRSA ecological environment. However, owing to a lack of monitoring records, little is known about how freshwater lake ecosystems respond to climatic variability. In this study, we investigated the long-term hydroclimatic changes and diatom community evolution in Gyaring Lake, the second largest lake in the YRSA, by analyzing the total organic carbon (TOC), biogenic silica (BSi), authigenic carbonate <em>δ</em><sup>18</sup>O and fossil diatoms in a sedimentary core (ZLH2) that was radiocarbon-dated (<sup>14</sup>C). Our results indicated that the YRSA hydroclimate transformed from warm–dry conditions during the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) to cold–wet during the Little Ice Age (LIA). The ensuing ecological effects include a shift in dominant diatom species from benthic to periphytic taxa, which may reflect an extension and diversification of micro-habitats. Despite the significant linear relationship between diatom biomass and hydroclimate over the past millennium, the response of diatom diversity to climate change appears to be more complex, showing a nonlinear relationship. The divergence in seasonal temperature records and alterations in habitat corresponded with the variations in diatom biomass and diversity, suggesting that the length of the growing season and habitat are crucial for freshwater ecosystem biodiversity in the YRSA. In summary, our research provides biostratigraphical evidence of the impact of climatic variability on lake biota and reveals a nonlinear pattern of freshwater ecosystem responses to climate on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20926,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Reviews","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 109306"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143619690","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}

This mid-Holocene hydroclimate optimum at Shalaii Cave is in good agreement with other non-isotopic records from SW-Asia, such as pollen evidence for concurrent rapid forest expansion and peaking lake levels. The mid-Holocene hydroclimatic optimum is most likely related to an increase in the amount of spring precipitation related to the remote influence of the Indian summer monsoon (desert-monsoon mechanism) and spring insolation-driven weakening of the Arabian anticyclone.
