| Summary: | Our understanding of the continental climate development in East Asia is mainly based on loess-paleosol; sequences and summer monsoon precipitation reconstructions based on oxygen isotopes (?18O) of stalagmites from several Chinese caves. Based on these records, it is thought that East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) precipitation generally follows Northern Hemisphere (NH) summer insolation. However, not much is known about the magnitude and timing of deglacial warming on the East Asian continent. In this study we reconstruct continental air temperatures for central China covering the last 34,000 yr, based on the distribution of fossil branched tetraether membrane lipids of soil bacteria in a loess-paleosol sequence from the Mangshan loess plateau. The results indicate that air temperature varied in phase with NH summer insolation, and that the onset of deglacial warming at ~19 kyr BP is parallel in timing with other continental records from e.g. Antarctica, southern Africa and South-America. The air temperature ... : Supplement to: Peterse, Francien; Prins, Maarten Arnoud; Beets, Christiaan J; Troelstra, Simon; Zheng, Hongbo; Gu, Zhaoyan; Schouten, Stefan; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S (2011): Decoupled warming and monsoon precipitation in East Asia over the last deglaciation.
