These patterns indicate the persistence of oxygen-limited conditions and a depth-dependent oxygen gradient in shallow marine environments across the eastern Yangtze Block throughout Cambrian Age 4. Integration with published carbonate I/(Ca + Mg) and Ce/Ce* records further demonstrates a marked decline in shallow marine oxygenation coinciding with the transition from the Cambrian Explosion to the mass extinction.

To address the gap and explore OAE 1d records in eastern Neo-Tethys and its global correlation, this study reports a comprehensive analysis of bio- and chemo- stratigraphy and lithofacies within the Langshan Formation in the Coqen Basin, central Xizang of China. Integrated stratigraphy dates the upper Second Member - lower Third Member to the late Albian to early Cenomanian and delineates the OAE 1d horizon. Eight microfacies (MF1−MF8) were interpreted, categorizing depositional environments of carbonate platform slope to deep shelf with minor open and restricted interior platform. The correlation of carbon isotope excursion stages A–D within the Neo-Tethys and the discrepancy among different marine domains suggest that OAE 1d may be pronounced in a super-regional scale, challenging the view of a strictly global event. Notably, the eastern Neo-Tethys exhibits exceptionally high mean δ<sup>13</sup>C values (3.83–3.91 ‰) during the late Albian, quadruple that of southern Neo-Tethys and almost double those of other marine domains, indicating geographically differential water mass conditions.

Here, we select a period of REY enrichment (from 20 Ma) from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1334 that coincides with carbonate crash and focus on analyzing the influence of carbonate dissolution on REY enrichment in sediments from the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP) and their associated environment changes.

While after 15 Ma, more radiogenic εNd ranged from −5.1 to −3.3, alongside Ti/Al average ratio increased from 2.56 to 2.71 and near zero CAR, reflecting stronger, more corrosive bottom waters and intensified silicate weathering driven by cooling and ice-sheet expansion, and finally the carbonate content depleted at 11 Ma.

Our results showed that the model accurately simulated unburnt vegetation structure. However, it overestimated fire carbon emissions compared to in-situ estimates. Post-fire carbon flux simulations revealed that avoiding salvage-logging of fire-surviving trees could result in the highest net carbon uptake in the near future (2019–2060). Reforestation strategies with a combination of conifer and broad-leaved trees consistently resulted in higher net C uptake than monoculture or mixed conifer options across all scenarios. Warming scenarios further accelerated carbon recovery, reducing the years needed to reach the carbon compensation point (CCP), i.e. the time when cumulative carbon uptake by reforestation balances the total carbon lost due to fire and post-fire emissions. Nevertheless, our study also revealed that the modelled rate of forest recovery was more rapid than observed.

Results indicate a continuous AW presence, with enhanced inflow during Marine Isotope Stage 3, fostering open-water conditions and aiding regional ice sheet growth. The early Last Glacial Maximum saw high productivity and persistent AW inflow, while deeper halocline conditions constrained AW to subsurface layers. Deglaciation initiated around 19 ka BP, marked by meltwater pulses that impacted AW pathways and oceanic stratification. During Heinrich Stadial 1 and the Younger Dryas, AW was forced deeper, retaining subsurface warmth despite surface cooling.

However, localized changes, including increased meltwater and weakened east-west recirculation, modulated its surface impact. This study underscores the complex interplay between AW advection, sea ice, meltwater dynamics, and atmospheric forcing in shaping the paleoceanography of the western Fram Strait.
