Summary: The research showed that drought had a significant impact on the composition of diatom communities and water quality assessment indices, particularly in smaller watercourses. Drought resulted in a significant increase in motile and terrestrial species within diatom communities, as well as an increase in the biodiversity of benthic diatoms.

Summary: Investigations into the early-mid Holocene climate changes in the southeastern margin of the Mu Us Desert revealed that the climate in the region was primarily influenced by the East Asian Summer Monsoon, summer insolation in the Northern Hemisphere, and ocean-atmosphere interaction patterns in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Summary: This study uses data from the South Pole Ice Core and a chemical transport model to show the seasonal variability in the sources of sea salt in the Southern Hemisphere, with winter variations playing a key role in centennial to millennial scale structures in the record, and explains the potential reasons for the increased Holocene sea salt concentrations.

Summary: The study of sub-centennial oxygen isotopes from ostracod and authigenic calcite in Squanga Lake provides evidence of hydroclimatic extremes and post-glacial climate system reorganizations in northwest Canada. The results show a range of climatic extremes and variability in the past 11,000 years, driven by long-term insolation and vapor source changes, with recent trends comparable to hydroclimate between 11,000 and 8,000 years ago. The North Pacific climate dynamics remain a key driver of P-E balance in the region throughout the Holocene.

Summary: This study reconstructed the climate and landscape changes in the southern Altai Mountains over the past 3500 years using radiocarbon dating and pollen analysis. The findings show that the region experienced a humid climate, supporting the growth of taiga and steppe vegetation, during 1550 BCE-720 BCE. From 720 BCE-390 CE, the climate was warm and human activities increased. Desert-steppe developed in response to increased aridity and/or human activities during 390 CE-1560 CE. After 1560 CE, the taiga and steppe recovered due to a return to humid conditions. Human activities have been the key factor affecting vegetation in the past 2000 years.

Summary: Mpondoland on the South African east coast is influenced by temperate and tropical circulation and climate systems, with sediment records indicating regional climatic change and anthropogenic influence over the past 5500 years. The study uses various data sources to infer paleoclimatic shifts and reconstruct past human activity, providing evidence of human impacts and increased erosion as early as -1500 years ago. Downcore proxy analysis suggests that particularly humid conditions persisted from -900 to -300 cal yr BP, encompassing both the Medieval Climate Anomaly and the Little Ice Age.

Summary: This study reconstructs the variability of late-glacial and Holocene summer sea-surface temperature (SST) in the northern North Atlantic using diatom records from sediment cores. The results show that SST varied during both periods, with greater amplitude during the late-glacial. Changes in SST were possibly influenced by major changes in ocean circulation patterns and minor variations in the interaction between cold and warm currents. Comparison with other marine records suggests an antiphase relationship between North Iceland and the eastern North Atlantic during the late-glacial and early Holocene.

Summary: The new dataset from Lake Emanda in northeastern Siberia provides insights into the climate and environmental dynamics in an extreme continental setting. The study reveals a relatively cold oligotrophic freshwater lake system persisting for the last 13.2 cal ka BP, with fluctuations in diatom records reflecting changes in past climate conditions throughout the Holocene. The patterns observed in the Lake Emanda delta O-18(diatom) record show similarities to those of Lake El'gygytgyn, suggesting a common regional signal in both records despite some hydrological differences.

Summary: The study presents a centennial-scale multi-proxy record from the East Sayan Mountains, showing vegetation and climate changes since around 14.2 thousand years ago. The area experienced warm and moist conditions with scattered growth of specific trees, followed by a cooling episode and the predominance of shrub tundra, indicating a shift in climate.

Summary: This paper presents a diatom record from a peat deposit in the Tuqiang permafrost peatland in northeast China to reconstruct the moisture and acidity conditions over the past 3300 years. The findings show changes in moisture, acidity, and vegetation composition, which are linked to paleoclimate records and human activities.

Summary: This study investigates sea level variability along the South African east and south coast, revealing that regional winds influence sea level on sub-annual scales, while ENSO, IOD, and SAM are related to interannual variability.

Summary: This study utilized 19 years of remote sensing data to analyze the effects of climatic variability on terrestrial vegetation in six protected areas of southwestern South America. The results showed that different climate oscillations had varying impacts on phenological activity of vegetation at different latitudes. Further long-term studies are needed to improve our understanding of the influence of climate change on vegetation condition and phenological variability in the region.

Summary: This study examined the impact of climate extremes on streamflow in nine sub-catchments of the Upper Indus Basin in Pakistan. The findings show an increase in precipitation and a decrease in summer temperatures over the past 30 years. Evapotranspiration was found to have a greater influence on streamflow in arid catchments. Precipitation was identified as the predominant factor affecting streamflow generation, followed by temperature.

Summary: This paper reconstructs the vegetation and climate changes in Western Europe from the deglaciation to the early Holocene using pollen investigations and quantitative climate reconstructions. The study reveals strong changes associated with the Lateglacial period, including the development of Juniperus - Betula succession, Pinus forests, steppe vegetation, and a cool deciduous forest dominated by Betula. The research also highlights the importance of multi-proxy approaches in paleo-environmental studies.

Summary: This study examines the hydroclimatic change during the Holocene and the last deglaciation in the mid-latitude of the Northern Hemisphere using n-alkane and compound-specific carbon isotope records from Lake Xijianhaizi. The results show fluctuations in effective moisture and a slight decreasing trend in the early Holocene, indicating changes in hydroclimate. Furthermore, the study highlights significant spatial differences in hydrological changes between northern China and southern China, which may be influenced by topographical variations and strong seasonality.
