Abstract  

Huahai Lake, located in the western part of Hexi Corridor, NW China, is a key research area for Holocene environmental changes on millennial timescales in a monsoon-westerly transition area. Based on exogenetic detrital mineral, we reconstructed precipitation changes in Huahai Lake area, Hexi Corridor of NW China during the early Holocene (10.47-8.87 cal ka BP) and the middle Holocene (8.87-5.5 cal ka BP). Results show that during early Holocene the amount of exogenetic detrital mineral was higher than that in the middle Holocene, and then it indicated that precipitation during the early Holocene was higher than that in the middle Holocene. Moreover, higher precipitation in the early Holocene was mainly controlled by strong Indian Monsoon, precipitation changes could have been affected by westerly winds that could have contributed to the water vapor supply to this region during the middle Holocene. The most humid conditions that occurred in the study area during the middle Holocene may have been caused by strong westerlies and low levels of evaporation.
