Abstract

Abstract: On the basis of field investigations along the upper Hangjiang River valley, a typical loess-soil section was found at the Tuojiawan (TJW). Magnetic susceptibility and particle-size distribution were measured in laboratory. OSL ages were measured by using the quartz single aliquot regenerative-dose protocol. The OSL results show that the optical ages of these samples ranged in 55.11-13.57 ka BP, showing a good relation with the depth in the TJW profile. It indicated that the profile was formed by loess weathering and accumulation. The content of clay, clay/coarse silt ratio, magnetic susceptibility in 228-260 cm and 294-370 cm were higher than those in Malan loess. The weathering intensity of this depth was obviously higher than that of Malan loess, close to the palaeosol (S₀), belongs to the weak palaeosol (L₁-S₁ and L₁-S₂). The age range of L₁-S₁ and L₁-S₂ was 27.26-21.59 ka BP. The change of the indexes showed the climate and pedogenic environment changed since Pleistocene. It indicated there was a short time of warm and wet in the cold and arid glacial period (27.5-21.5 ka BP), and the southeast monsoon gradually intensified during the early Holocene periods with the strongest monsoon in the mid-Holocene.

Key words: Hanjiang River, OSL dating, climate change, weak palaeosol
