The hydrothermal circulation suggests that extreme daytime and nighttime precipitation patterns can have many distinct consequences,ranging from changes in various scale hydrological cycles to social security concerns. However, the spatio-temporal patterns of daytime and nighttime precipitation events remain underexplored, lacking quantitative analysis. Therefore, our study analyzed daily precipitation data (including 24-h, daytime, and nighttime) from 1981 to 2022 across China to investigate extreme precipitation patterns at a half-day scale (daytime and nighttime). Fourteen monthly extreme indices associated with atmospheric circulations and sea surface temperatures were examined to clarify precipitation distribution patterns using random forest and optimal fingerprinting techniques. The main findings are: (1) A clear upward trend was found in cumulative precipitation, intensifying the frequency of extreme precipitation events. Notably, the increase in both accumulated 24-h precipitation and the rate of nighttime precipitation exceeded the rate of daytime precipitation between 1981 and 2022. This trend became more pronounced as precipitation events became more extreme. (2) Most regions in China exhibited an increasing trend in both cumulative precipitation days and total precipitation, particularly in the North China Plain, although the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau saw significant decreases in both variables. (3) Extreme precipitation events were primarily driven by changes in the different types of the Subtropical High (Western Pacific, South China Sea, and Northern Hemisphere Subtropical High), along with the typhoons southeast of the Hu Huanyong line. These findings enhance the understanding of hydrothermal exchange processes and extreme precipitation, providing a useful basis for climate change adaptations in China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55089,"journal":{"name":"Global and Planetary Change","volume":"245 ","pages":"Article 104696"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142935463","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}

To this end, this paper clarifies the spatial and temporal patterns of CCS in China and reveals their response to PGA based on PGA, climate, lithology and other datas, combined with methods such as the random forest model and maximal potential dissolution model. The results showed that the CCS Flux(CCSF) was 5.32 t C km<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> and the Full CCS (FCCS) was 1346 × 10<sup>4</sup> t C yr<sup>−1</sup>, which was influenced by PGA, with the flux being the largest at 0.05 g PGA (5.38 t C km<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>), mainly in the south-western part of the country where hydrothermal conditions are favourable. Meanwhile, the response of CCS to PGA was affected by latitude and altitude divergence. CCS at the same latitude showed a fluctuating downward trend with the enhancement of PGA. Two trends of CCS and PGA at the same altitude appeared, one was that CCS increased with the enhancement of PGA when the altitude was less than 2500 m as well as 4500–6500 m, and the other was that CCS decreased with the enhancement of PGA when the altitude was 2500–4500 m. At the same PGA, CCS decreased with increasing latitude and elevation, respectively. This may be due to the fact that higher altitude and latitude are associated with lower temperatures, which affects the rate of chemical weathering of carbonate rocks, and hence CCS. The aim of this paper is to understand the response relationship between CCS and PGA, which helps to reveal how geologic activities affect the carbon cycle. The results of the study bridge the gap between tectonic geology and CCS systematic research to a certain extent, and promote the integration of the disciplines.

Here we present a well-dated record of dust activity based on the Ti content of the sediments of Shuanghu Lake, in the southern Altai Mountains, with a ∼ 15-yr-resolution and covering the entire Holocene. This record shows a gradual decrease in dust intensity during ∼11.7–6 thousand years ago (ka), followed by a persistent increase since ∼6 ka. Frequent dust events are also evident, lasting hundreds of years, and are superimposed on the millennial-scale trend, corresponding to the nine North Atlantic Bond events. We propose that the millennial-scale trend of dust activity was primarily influenced by variations in the mid-latitude Westerlies, while the dust events on the centennial scale were driven primarily by a strengthened East Asian winter monsoon. Overall, this study provides a reliable, high-resolution record of Holocene dust activity in inland Asia, and it updates the previous view that dust activity in this region was solely controlled by the mid-latitude Westerlies or the Siberian High.

Strong sea level variability, together with Indonesian Throughflow constriction and reduction in intensity of the Leeuwin Current after 2.4 Ma may have led to enhanced cooling and regional upwelling.

Our study suggests that ferruginous concretions are formed in subaerial and aqueous environments, with a weathered stiff clay layer serving as the main stratum for concretion development. During periods of low sea levels (before 10.5 cal ka BP), paleo-channels likely provided fluctuating wet and dry conditions for the formation of light and dark concentric layers within ferruginous concretions. Between 10.5 and 7.5 cal ka BP, the Sunda Shelf was gradually inundated, leading to the partial transport of concretions from nearby channels. Subsequently, after 7.5 cal ka BP, the paleo-channels became completely submerged, halting the formation of ferruginous concretions on the Sunda Shelf. Meanwhile, ferruginous concretions on the seafloor became mixed with sediments and marine organisms due to hydrodynamic sorting.

In karst lakes, the BP works in synergy with a more efficient carbonate pump (CP), enhancing phosphorus (P) removal. This synergy provides a plausible explanation for the observed P enrichment in karst lake sediments. It is hypothesized that an enhanced BP effect drives the CP, accelerating the co-precipitation of carbonates with P, resulting in the accumulation of calcium-bound P compounds (Ca<img>P). However, these hypotheses remain largely unquantified and unverified. Research into centennial-scale multi-proxy sedimentary records from Fuxian Lake, a representative karst lake in China, showed significant correlations among organic and inorganic carbon, including contents, fluxes, and isotopic profiles, demonstrating the interplay between the BP and the CP.

Moreover, a strong correlation (<em>r</em> > 0.6, <em>P</em> < 0.0001) between organic-inorganic carbon proxies and sedimentary P has been identified. Compared to phytoplankton, submerged plants significantly boost P co-precipitation (forming Ca<img>P) through the BP mechanism by facilitating a more efficient CP.

Magnetic data (χ, SIRM, χ<sub>ARM</sub>, and S-ratios) obtained from cores SHDZ10 and A4 in the middle Okinawa Trough indicate an intensified reductive diagenesis effect prior to the early-middle Holocene period, whereas a contrasting trend is observed since the early-middle Holocene.

By synthesizing the observed redox transition phenomena in nearby sediment cores (MD012403, MD012404, KX12–3, MD063–05, CSH1), we discover a coherent redox transition event during the early-middle Holocene.
