In this study, the AA. analyze the environmental condition that may have caused intensive soil erosion and define what kind of relics can be considered as erosion surfaces. They present results of the field work at Luochuan, Weinan, Tongchuan, Fufeng, Baoji, and Yangling, and a comparison between the SPECMAP, ODP-677 δ18 O curve, and the magnetic susceptibility curve of loess-paleosol sequence.
