Description
The authors used rubidium/strontium ratio, calcium carbonate and organic concentration data of sediments cored from Daihai Lake in Inner Mongolia (112°38'E, 40°33'N) to reconstruct the climate of that region over the past 2,200 years. The results indicated the existence of a "warm and humid" climate that defined the Medieval Warm Period between AD 800 and 1100, which also exhibited the "strongest chemical weathering during the last 2,200 years."
