Variations in Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios of calcites in Chinese loess: a proxy for chemical weathering associated with the East Asian summer monsoon
Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios of loess-paleosol calcites of Luochuan in China over the past 130 ka display a regular change with increasing trend of Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios in the following order: loess calcite-->weakly pedogenetic, paleosol calcite-->paleosol calcite-->pure secondary calcite. The observed...
