Intensive soil erosion periods of Pleistoceneon the Central South Loess Plateau

摘要

Summary. Quantitative information on the soil erosion periods of Pleistocene on the Loess Plateau is rare. Here, we present results of the field work at Luochuan, Weinan, Tongchuan, Fufeng, Baoji, and Yangling, and a comparison between the SPECMAP, ODP-677 δ~(18)Ocurve, and the magnetic susceptibility curve of loess-paleosol sequence.
