英文摘要 | There is a vigorous and ongoing debate about the interpretation of the stalagmite delta O-18 record from east China as an indicator of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) intensity. This is mainly because of the inconsistent spatial variation of precipitation amount in east China, but the generally consistent variation of precipitation delta O-18, on various timescales. However, a direct comparison of a proxy record of precipitation amount with the delta O-18 record from the same stalagmite has rarely been reported, especially in north China. Here, we present precisely-dated high-resolution stalagmite delta C-13 and delta O-18 records for the past 130 ka (1 ka = 1000 years) from Zhenzhu (ZZ) Cave in north China. On multi-millennial to orbital timescales, the delta C-13 and delta O-18 records exhibit a high degree of in-phase co-variation; however, there are differences in the trend and amplitude of change between various marine isotopic stages (MIS): specifically, MIS5e, MIS5c, MIS5a, MIS3 and MIS1. Modern monitoring results of two years from ZZ Cave, together with a comparison of the delta C-13 record from the cave with a pedogenic carbonate delta C-13 record from the western Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), demonstrate that the delta C-13 record is a sensitive and reliable indicator of EASM rainfall amount. Considering that variations in both the amount and delta O-18 of precipitation can be modulated by the atmospheric circulation system, we conclude that the amplitude and trend of the stalagmite delta O-18 variations from north China are not an absolute indicator of EASM intensity, but rather an indicator of changes in the phase of the EASM. We suggest that stalagmite delta O-18 records combined with other unambiguous proxy indicators from stalagmites can provide a more comprehensive history of changes of the EASM. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
