Comparison of the selected environmental indexes from the Khara-Nur lake sediments (this study), the NGRIP δ18O record from Greenland, as indicator of the Northern Hemisphere air temperature (after Svensson et al., 2008) and δ18O record from Chinese stalagmites (Dongge Cave, after Wang et al., 2001; Yuan et al., 2004), as indicator of the Pacific monsoon intensity, the Northern Hemisphere June insolation at 60°N (after Berger and Loutre, 1991), plotted along their respective time scales. LOI - loss on ignition, AP - arboreal pollen, NAP - non-arboreal pollen, MS - magnetic susceptibility, DC - dark conifers, LC - light conifers, LGZs - local geoecological zones, CIA (Al2O3/(Al2O3 + CaO + Na2O + K2O))*100 - chemical index of alteration (Nesbitt, Young, 1982)"
