    Description: To identify environmental causes for past changes in vegetation in subtropical East Asia, we present carbon isotope compositions of plant-wax n-alkanes and provide estimates of the C4-plant contribution across the past four glacial terminations and interglacials, based on cores recovered from the northern South China Sea. Our results show a comparable C4-plant contribution between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Holocene. An increase of the C4-plant contribution by 15–20% is found for Terminations IV, II and I relative to subsequent interglacial peaks, coeval with an expansion of Cyperaceae and Poaceae. In contrast, Termination V reveals a lower C4-plant contribution than Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11c. The data exhibit a long-term trend, with a stepwise increase of the C4-plant contribution across interglacials MIS 11c, 9e, 7e and 1. We suggest that no substantial changes in humidity levels over glacial-interglacial cycles occurred facilitating a similar C3/C4-plant ratio for the LGM and the Holocene. Instead, deglacial sea-level rises caused an extensive development of floodplains and wetlands on the exposed continental shelf, providing habitats for the spread of C4 sedges and grasses. The progressive subsidence of Chinese coastal areas and the broadening of the continental shelf over the late Quaternary explains the nearly absence of C4 plant occurrence during Termination V and a gradual increase of the C4-plant contribution across interglacial peaks. Taken together, changes in coastal environments should be considered when interpreting marine-based vegetation reconstructions from subtropical Asia.

    Description: Tropical and subtropical rivers deliver large quantities of terrestrial organic carbon (OCterr) to the ocean, acting as a crucial part of the global carbon cycle, but little is known about the timescale and efficiency of its transport to and in the adjacent coastal sea. Here we examined source-specific biomarker (fatty acids, FAs) contents and isotope compositions in surface sediments in an alongshore transect southwestward from the Pearl River mouth. The C28+30, rather than other long-chain saturated FAs, were found to be the most representative for OCterr, and a plant wax mean age of 3060 ±90 yr (resulting from protracted storage) was estimated in the Pearl River watershed from the 14C age of C28+30FA in a river mouth sample. A compilation of plant wax mean ages in global (sub)tropical river systems including this study suggests that regional differences in climate and morphology may have a limited impact on plant wax mean ages in (sub)tropical regions. A four-source mixing model based on bulk OC and biomarker isotope compositions demonstrated that surface sediments in the Pearl River-derived mudbelt consist of 0.15–0.36 wt.% marine OC, 0.03–0.13 wt.% riverine primary production-derived OC, 0.18–0.49 wt.% soil OC, and 0.07–0.16 wt.% fossil OC. The mean burial efficiency of fossil and soil OC is ∼85% and 49%, respectively, indicating the refractory nature of fossil OC but a significant loss of soil OC due to remineralization during transport in the marine environment before final burial. Over longer timescales, the OCterrloss experienced during transport may, thus, to some extent reduces the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems (particularly soils) as CO2sinks.

    Description: Fractional abunances of isoprenoid GDGTs calculated from the peak areas detected for the molecule peaks in the HPLC chromatograms. These data are an addition to the already archived TEX86 and UK'37 data in core-top sediments from off Indonesia (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.823057).

    Description: The data set contains lipid biomarker and bulk organic matter data from two sediment cores in the Shaban Deep, in the northern Red Sea. One core is deposited in the hypersaline brine (GeoB7805-1 2) and the other core (GeoB7807-2) is deposited outside the brine. The data set compares the lipid biomarker signals in the two deposition settings. For both cores the data set contains total organic carbon data, total nitrogen data, bulk organic matter carbon and hydrogen isotope data, long-chain n-alkane concentrations, alkenone concentrations, long- and short-chain fatty acid concentrations, long-chain n-alkane and long-chain fatty acid average chain length and carbon preference index data, UK37 data, stable carbon and hydrogen isotope data for long-chain n-alkanes, alkenones, and long- and short chain fatty acids.
