“…3a and 3b), the warm and moisture-bearing EASM extended northwestward to the AECA and encountered cold, dry westerlies, which eventually resulted in the strong convergence of the EASM and the westerlies, thus providing conditions highly conducive to abundant rainfall. These results provide further evidence for the previous speculation that the monsoon extended toward the AECA1234561314.…”

A detailed and well-dated proxy record of summer rainfall variation in arid Central Asia is lacking. Here, we report a long-term, high resolution record of summer rainfall extracted from a peat bog in arid eastern-Central Asia (AECA). The record indicates a slowly but steadily increasing trend of summer rainfall in the AECA over the past 8500 years. On this long-term trend are superimposed several abrupt increases in rainfall on millennial timescales that correspond to rapid cooling events in the North Atlantic. During the last millennium, the hydrological climate pattern of the AECA underwent a major change. The rainfall in the past century has reached its highest level over the 8500-year history, highlighting the significant impact of the human-induced greenhouse effect on the hydrological climate in the AECA. Our results demonstrate that even in very dry eastern-Central Asia, the climate can become wetter under global warming.

“…Stalagmite δ 18 O sequences from the Sanbao Cave in central China and the Nuanhe Cave in north-eastern China do not register this event (Dong et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2012). Hong et al (2010) and Stebich et al (2010) argued that a change in EASM precipitation during the YD remains an open question. Hong et al (2005) used the Hani (42°13′N, 126°31′E) peat cellulose carbon stable isotope record to propose enhanced precipitation in northern China during the YD.…”

“…Variations of organic carbon isotopes show climatic shifts from cold-dry (11,600 14 C yr before present (BP)) to cool-humid (10,200 14 C yr BP) and back to cold-dry (10,200-10,000 14 C yr BP). The dry-humid-dry climate pattern during the YD period can be found in many records from monsoonal China; for example: Jingbian, Shenmu and Dongxiang , and even in peat records from northeast China (Zhou et al 2010b;Hong et al 2010). During the middle period of the YD, the summer monsoon was intensified as observed in both the Midiwan record and Hulu Cave speleothem record .…”

“…Paleoclimate reconstructions have focused on the monsoonal region. Peat sequences from Northeast China and Southwest China preserve continuous records of the history and variability of monsoonal climate in these two regions for the entire Holocene (Zhou et al 2002aHong et al 2000Hong et al , 2001Hong et al , 2003Hong et al , 2005Hong et al , 2009Hong et al 2010;Yu et al 2006bYu et al , 2011Wang et al 2004c;Xu et al 2002Xu et al , 2006Zheng et al 2009aZheng et al , 2011aSeki et al 2009;Yamamoto et al 2010a, b), and records of the relationship between human activities and natural process (Hong et al 2000;Yu et al 2010a). Many sections from south China and the desert-loess transition zone are mainly composed of sand and interbeded peat, that record information from multiple climatic events (Zhou et al 1997(Zhou et al , 1999(Zhou et al , 2002a(Zhou et al , 2005(Zhou et al , 2007Zheng et al 2009a, b;Zhong et al 2010a, b).…”

“…Although the first description of peat was in the "Diary of the Travels of Xu Xiake" more than 400 years ago, the study of peat records of paleoclimate in China has lagged until recently, developing fast over the last 20 years (Xie et al 2000;Zhou et al 2001Zhou et al , 2002aZhou et al , b, 2004Zhou et al , 2005Zhou et al , 2007Zhou et al , 2010aHong et al 2000Hong et al , 2001Hong et al , 2003Hong et al , 2005Hong et al , 2009Hong et al 2010;Yu et al 2006bYu et al , 2011Wang et al 2004c;Zheng et al 2009aZheng et al , b, 2011aZhu et al 2009;Ma et al 2009;Yu and Liu 2010;Zhong et al 2010a, b).

This chapter provides an extensive review of paleomonsoon variability on millennial-to decadal time scales in various archives other than loess, including speleothems, lake sediments, peat deposits, desert deposits, marine sediments, corals, ice cores, tree rings, pollen archives and historical documents. Case studies will be presented to introduce the major proxy indexes associated with these archives, and the reconstructed history of Asian monsoon variability. Advances in the study of monsoon variability and the peculiarity of different archives will also be introduced in this chapter.Keywords Speleothems · Lake sediments · Peat · Desert · Marine sediments · Coral · Ice cores · Tree ring · Pollen · Historical documents Overview of Various Paleoclimate ArchivesAs described in the previous chapter, the eolian loess sequence, a unique geological archive in the world, plays an important role in studying the climatic and environmental changes in China as it documents the variability of both Asian monsoon and the aridification of inland Asia. It has the advantages of being relatively continuous and long-lasting for studying the monsoon changes and inland aridifications on tectonic and orbital time scales, and even has the potential for studies of monsoon variations on millennial time scales at some sites. However, other geo-biological archives and historical records are also essential in studying the Asian monsoon changes, as they provide indispensable information for fully understanding Asian monsoon changes and its dynamic forces and environmental effects, especially on the millennial to decadal time scales. For example, taking advantage of high-precision absolute U-series dating, speleothems from karst caves, provide the ages of the abrupt events that occurred within the Asian monsoon regions and make it possible to correlate these events with global climate changes, enhancing greatly our understanding of the linkage between Asian monsoon and global climate change. With multiple proxies, lake sediments are good at providing the integrated information on hydrology, weathering processes, biomass and other aspects within the drainage systems. Coral records may indicate the changes in moisture supply from the tropical ocean, ocean circulation, sea surface temperature and other parameters linked closely with monsoon climate. Tree-ring records provide annual changes of regional temperature, precipitation and the hydrological environment, and are the basis to fully describe the present global warming and the anthropogenic contribution. As the direct index of vegetation, pollen assemblages indicate the succession of vegetation associated with monsoon changes, revealing variations in moisture availability and temperature. Therefore, studies of these various archives, as well as peatbogs, ice cores, marine and desert deposits and historical records, greatly expanded our knowledge of the variability of Asian monsoons and their driving forces.This chapter will focus on various archives used in the study of Asian mon...
