New sedimentary evidence reveals a unique history of C4 biomass in continental East Asia since the early Miocene
Abstract Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) and n-alkane data from sediments in the northern South China Sea reveal variations in material from C4 plants in East Asia over the last ~19 Ma. These data indicate the likely presence of C4 taxa during the earliest part of the record analysed, with C4 species also pr...
