Holocene high-resolution monsoon climate fluctuations in the Mu Us desert, China
The MGS1 segment of the Milanggouwan stratigraphic section, which is located on the southeastern margin of the Mu Us Desert in China, recorded 11 sedimentary cycles consisting of aeolian dune sands overlapping with fluvio-lacustrine facies or paleosols in the Holocene. Through the analysis of trace...

The MGS1 segment of the Milanggouwan stratigraphic section, which is located on the southeastern margin of the Mu Us Desert in China, recorded 11 sedimentary cycles consisting of aeolian dune sands overlapping with fluvio-lacustrine facies or paleosols in the Holocene. Through the analysis of trace elements, gastropods, and sporopollen fossils in some layers of the MGS1, this study presents the monsoon climate fluctuations on the millennial-scale in the Mu Us Desert during the Holocene. The results show that the contents of trace elements (P, Pb, Rb, Nb, Zr, V, Sr, Cu, Ni, As, B a, and Co) have similar distribution characteristic, their contents are low in the dune sands but are relatively high in the overlying fluvio-lacustrine facies or paleosols showing 11 cycles in alternation of valleys and peaks. The trace elements in the paleo-mobile dune sands of MGS1 are quite consistent with those of modern mobile dune sands in Salawusu River Valley; therefore, paleo-mobile dune sands can be assumed to be a result of the main periods of the prevalence of East Asian winter monsoon.
