Based on a recently revised chronology the loess-paleosol sequences especially from F5 to F2 in the Carpathian Basin, southeast Central Europe and for comparison the section of Luochuan, Central China give a reliable climatic history for the upper
Weathering and clay mineral formation in two Holocene soils and in buried paleosols in Tadjikistan : towards a Quaternary paleoclimatic record in Central Asia
Special issue. Reconstruction and climatic implications of paleosols
The upper part of the Karamaydan section, Tadjikistan, shows the most detailed loess-paleosol sequence yet known for the Brunhes chron, and the central and lower parts of the Chashmanigar section provide similar detail for most of the Matuyama chron
. The aim of this paper is to give a quantitative paleoclimatic interpretation based on the type and amount of pedogenic clay material formation of the paleosols in comparison with 2 holocene soils and thus improve the knowledge of the history of Quaternary
A micromorphological comparison of the loess-paleosol sequence of the Karamaydan section, Central Asia, with the upper part of the Luochuan section, China, clearly indicates that for the Brunhes chron the sequence at Karamaydan is more detailed than
the corresponding section at Luochuan. It provides more paleoclimatic detail, with cold dry stages represented by loess and warm humid stages (interglacials) by paleosols, than even the deep-sea cores.

The purpose of this study was to distinguish between recent and relict features in the red soils of South India. The most so-called alfisols in South India are paleosols formed under a much more humid climate. The results show that under present day
