Abstract:
Grain size and geochemical composition of the loess-palaeosol sequences are important evidence of the sedimentary environment in the Pleistocene, which enables to revela- tion of the sedimentation rates, the origin of deposits, and the sources of material that contributed to the loess accumulation and pedogenesis. The Kd index (10-50 μm / <5 μm), and the Ti/Zr, Ti/Nb and Ce/Y ratios considered to be indicators of aeolian silt accumulation, whereas the ratio of physical sand to physical … Show more
