This book is the first of its kind on environmental change research
devoted to monsoon-arid environment evolution history and its
mechanism involved. Capturing the most prominent features of Asian
climate and environmental changes, it gives a comprehensive review
of the Asian Monsoon records providing evidence for spatial and
temporal climatic and environmental changes across the Asian
continent since the Late Cenozoic. The dynamics underlying these
changes are explored based on various bio-geological records and in
particular based on the evidence of loess, speleothems as well as
on mammal fossils. The Asian monsoon-arid climate system which
quantifies the controlling mechanisms of climate change and the way
it operates in different time scales is described. Attempts to
differentiate between natural change and human-induced effects,
which will help guide policies and countermeasures designed to
support sustainable development on the Chinese Loess Plateau and
the arid west.
