First sentence: Recent studies of the long-term global environment have demonstrated that long continental records, such as those preserved in lake sediments (Kashiwaya et al. 1998, 2001a) and loess (An et al. 2001; Ding et al. 1999), are highly relevant for reconstructing long-term, high-resolution environmental changes.
