QinglingMts - Natural geography boundary between temperate and subtropical China

Winter Monsoon Magnetic Proxy? Summer Monsoon
To the North, Chinese Loess Plateau S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 Yes (An, et al., Maher et al., Zhou et al.) Stratigraphic interpretation Susceptibility
To the South, middle and lower Yangtze area Be cautions (Hu, et al.,2009 ;Zhang et al., 2007) may be affected by post-depositional hydromorphic processes

North South Should be Higher, But show low value. Why?
Hard magnetic Minerals More Less

Paleoenvironmentfor early human In East QinlingMts? a higher magnetic lf and fd are associated with paleosols and lower values associated with loess units
FM particles formed during pedogenic process resulted the enhancement of MS MS can be employeed as paleclimate proxy, but should be cautions
East Summer monsoon Stronger Weaker Relative warmer and stable environement
