In this paper, the data of carbon 14 dating and optical luminescence of a lacustrine sediment profile in nanmucuo lake of zari in the south of Qinghai Tibet Plateau are analyzed. The data are tested by automatic optical luminescence dating instrument and accelerated mass spectrometry. The optical luminescence experiment is carried out in Qinghai Salt Lake Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the carbon 14 dating experiment is carried out in beta Laboratory of the United States. The data are reliable. This data reveals the lake evolution process of South mucuo Lake in zari in the past 5000 to 2000 years. Moreover, it is proved that the PL age is more reasonable than the C 14 age. In addition, it has a good application value in the study of the evolution process of the "ancient Pan Lake" in the hinterland of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the regional climate and environmental changes.

This data set comes from papers: Cui, A.N., Lu, H.Y., Liu, x.q., Shen, C.M., Xu, D.K., Xu, b.q., Wu, n.q., 2021. Tibetan Plateau precision modulated by the periodically coupled western and Asian Mongolia. Geophysical research letters, 48, Based on the advantage of accurate dating of the annual laminar sediments of the lake Kusai in the northern Tibetan Plateau, the authors analyzed the changes of plant sporopollen species in the area around the lake Kusai in the past 1656 years (350-2006) with high resolution (~ 5-year resolution), Based on 735 representative soil sporopollen assemblages and meteorological interpolation data within 800 km of Lake Kusai and its surrounding areas, a high-precision sporopollen annual precipitation conversion function was established to quantitatively reconstruct the precipitation and annual mean temperature changes in the past 1656 years. This data set provides a reference for studying the past climate change law and predicting the future climate change trend of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

The data sets contains the content of fungal spores and (Ce+Fa/Po+Fa) ratio data from Gonghai Lake (38°54′N, 112°14′E, altitude 1860 m) in northern China over the past ~2000 years. We calculated pollen (Ce+Fa/Po+Fa) ratio of 321 samples and we identified the fungal spores of 216 sedimentary samples to reconstruct changes in cultivation and grazing intensity over the past ~2,000 years in northern China. Time-series analysis reveals that the arable farming phases had a longer periodicity than the grazing phases, possibly because of the greater resilience of the former to climate change and the attachment of agriculturalists to their land. Our findings potentially help improve our understanding of the impact of land use on soil degradation. The data is stored in Excel format.

The surface palynological data in this dataset are from the East Asian palynological database（ http://eapd.sysu.edu.cn/database/ And the surface pollen data of the northeastern margin of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The precipitation data of surface soil palynological points were obtained from the annual average precipitation data of 126 meteorological stations in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas (Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan) from 1950 to 1980 (the data came from China Meteorological Science Data Sharing Service Network) http://www.data.ac.cn/xiazai/ ）Because topography has a great impact on climate change, Therefore, in ArcGIS, the uneven distribution of annual precipitation data of meteorological stations is transformed into grid data on the surface of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau by Kriging spatial interpolation method, and the precipitation grid data of the surface palynological point can be regarded as the actual precipitation data of the point. By using the method of transformation function, the representative surface palynological types are selected, and the linear regression between them and modern climate is established. The fossil Palynological Assemblages are substituted into the regression equation to obtain paleoclimate parameters. Using the modern analogy method (MAT), assuming that the relationship between vegetation types and climate in the past is corresponding, we can compare the sporopollen spectrum of the strata indicating vegetation types with that of the present representative soil to reveal the similarity between them. Then we can get the corresponding precipitation data of the strata sporopollen by matrix operation with the modern precipitation data of the corresponding points.

In July 2017, our team carried out field vegetation quadrat survey and livestock manure sample collection in Henan and Zeku counties. Random sampling 100 m × 5 ~ 10 pieces of unweathered excrement of the same grazing livestock in 100 m area were mixed into a sample and sealed for preservation. A total of 49 livestock manure samples were collected, including 30 yak (bosgrunniens), 11 horse (Equus ferus cabellus) and 8 sheep (Ovis aries). GPS was used to locate each sampling point, and the vegetation community and main vegetation types within the sampling point were recorded. The dry weight of each sample was 2 g. before sample treatment, 1 Lycopodium spore (27637) was added to each sample ± 563 grains per tablet were used to calculate the sporopollen concentration. Remove the calcareous cement with 10% HCl, after 200 μ The larger particle size of plant residues was removed by M sieve, and the organic matter was removed by 10% KOH in water bath at 70 ℃; Then 40% HF was added to remove the silicate. Finally, 7 μ The sporopollen was enriched by nylon sieve, cleaned and preserved in glycerin. The identification of sporopollen was carried out under 400 times optical biological microscope with reference to the sporopollen morphological atlas and literature. Tilia software was used to draw the sporopollen percentage map. The principal component analysis of sporopollen data was carried out by using canoco5.0 software. This data not only provides new research ideas and means for evaluating grazing livestock feeding habits and the impact of animal husbandry activities on regional vegetation in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, but also provides important modern process basis and reference data for carrying out pollen analysis of fecal samples preserved in archaeological sites in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau in the future, so as to reconstruct the information of ancient vegetation communities and ancient human production activities.

The data set includes the characteristics of ancient glacial sediments, such as grain size characteristics, sporopollen characteristics, environmental indicators of chemical elements, mineral characteristics of sediments, etc. Table 1 shows the analysis of five samples collected from the red moraine of Q2, which shows that the grain size characteristics of different ages are the difference of grain size distribution caused by weathering strength. The earlier the moraine is formed, the farther the grain size characteristics of the moraine are from the typical moraine facies. According to Tang Lingyu's (1984) analysis of spores and pollen in lignite (Table 2), there are many clouds and firs, but there are many warm loving Castanea, Liquidambar and Quercus, which indicates that the mountain is dark coniferous cold temperate to warm temperate vegetation, while the piedmont plain is warm temperate or even mountain subtropical vegetation, and its altitude is not very high. The sporopollen analysis data of four surface soil samples and Q31 and q32 moraine samples from high to low altitude on the east slope of Gongga mountain show that the SPOROPOLLEN ASSEMBLAGES OF Q31 and q32 moraines are not significantly different from those at present (tables 3 and 4). The chemical elements of moraine samples were analyzed by icpq plasma analyzer. The results show that the other 18 elements can reflect the weathering degree in different degrees except Fe2O3, which is too influenced by local lithology to retrieve the information of age and weathering degree. There are 28 fine-grained samples, and the results are summarized in the table below. The analysis results of Hengduanshan moraine samples are shown in Table 6. It can be seen that there is little difference in the most stable mineral content of the Moraine in different periods. The mineral characteristics of the Moraine in this area clearly reflect the relationship between it and weathering time. It is hoped that through the geochemical study of the temporal and spatial sequence of glacial deposits, the indicator of element migration can be established for the study of Quaternary glacial environment in China.

Relationship between modern pollen and climate, and its representative to vegetation are the important references in explaining and reconstructing past climate and vegetation qualitatively or quantitatively. To extrct past climate and vegetation signals from fossil pollen spectrum of a lacustrine sediment, a corresponding modern pollen dataset collected from lake-sediment surface is necessary. At present, there are a few modern pollen datasets extracted from lake sediment-surface established on the Tibetan Plateau, however, the geographic gaps (e.g. the central and east Tibetan Plateau) of available sampled lakes influence the correct understanding. To ensure the even distribution of the representative lakes, we collected lake sediment-surface samples (n=117) covering the alpine meadow evenly on the east and central Tibetan Plateau, in July and August 2018. For pollen extraction, approximately 10 g (wet original sediment) per sample were sub-sampled. Pollen sample was processed by the standard acid-alkali-acid procedures followed by 7-μm-mesh sieving. More than 500 terrestrial pollen grains were counted for each sample. Pollen assemblages of the dataset from alpine meadow are dominated by Cyperaceae (mean is 68.4%, maximum is 95.9%), with other herbaceous pollen taxa as commen taxa including Poaceae (mean is 10.3%, maximum is 87.7%), Ranunculaceae (mean is 4.8%, maximum is 33.6%), Artemisia (mean is 3.7%, maximum is 24.5%), Asteraceae (mean is 2.1%, maximum is 33.6%), etc. Salix (mean is 0.4%, maximum is 5.3%) is the major shrub taxon in these pollen assemblages, while arboreal taxa occur with low percentages generally (mean of total arboreal percentages is 0.9% (maximum is 5.8%), including mainly Pinus (mean is 0.3%, maximum is 1.8%), Betula (mean is 0.1%, maximum is 0.9%) and Alnus (mean is 0.1%, maximum is 0.7%). These pollen assemblages represent the plant components well in the alpine meadow communities, although they are influenced slightly by long-distance pollen grain transported by wind or river (such as these arboreal pollen taxa). Together with pollen counts and percentages, we also provided the modern climatic data for the sampled lakes. The China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD; gridded near-surface meteorological dataset) with a temporal resolution of three hours and a spatial resolution of 0.1° was employed, and the climatic data of the nearest pixel of one sampled lake was defined to represent climatic conditions of the lake. Finally, the mean annual precipitation (Pann), mean annual temperature (Tann) and mean temperature of the coldest month (Mtco) and warmest month (Mtwa) are calculated for each sampled lake.

This dataset is derived from the paper: Tang, H. et al. (2020). Early Oligocene vegetation and climate of southwestern China inferred from palynology. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 560, 109988. doi:10.1016/j.palaeo.2020.109988 This data is part of Supplementary data of the paper, maily contains: Supplementary table 1) Pollen percentages, which were calculated using the collected pollen samples. Supplementary table 2) Plant functional types (PFTs) for the reconstructed paleovegetation of three sites : Wenshan (Early Oligocene), Jianchuan (Early Oligocene) and Lühe (Late Eocene). Recently, in the town of Lühe, central Yunnan, SW China, a new fossil-bearing section was found and dated as early Oligocene (~33–32 Ma) according to U-Pb isotope of volcanic tuff. The fossil-bearing section totals about 18 m in thickness. Fifty-five pollen samples were collected vertically throughout this Lühe town section. For each sample, 2–2.5 g of sediment were treated with KOH (10%,) HCl (10%) and HF (39%), then sample residues were sieved through a 5 μm nylon mesh in an ultrasonic tank. Spore and pollen grains were identified using both a light microscope (LM, Leica DM1000 microscope) and a scanning electronic microscope (SEM). Single grains were picked up by a capillary tube and then transferred to a copper stub, coated with gold and observed with a Zeiss EVO LS10 SEM. At least 300 pollen grains were counted for each sample under the LM at ×400 magnification. Then the pollen percentages were calculated using the sum of total terrestrial pollen. The paleovegetation was reconstructed following the method described by Prentice et al., 1996, Prentice and Jolly, 2000 and Ni et al. (2010). The paleobiomes were reconstructed by comparing the similarity of the palaeoflora with modern plant functional types (PFTs), according to the data published by Ni et al. (2010). The similarity between the palaeoflora and modern PFTs data was explored using Euclidean distances (Prentice et al., 1996) and the Jaccard Index Coefficient (Pound and Salzmann, 2017). The Jaccard Index Coefficient in the R package “clusteval” was used here to calculate the similarity. The palaeoflora was assigned to the biome with the highest similarity scores, taking into account dominant or key taxa.

This is Northern Hemispheric (NH) annual near-surface temperature dataset during the past millennium with a 2° spatial resolution, which is produced using the paleoclimate data assimilation approach with EnSRF method, MPI-ESM-P model and 396 multi-proxies from the PAGES2k Consoritum. This dataset agrees well with several observational temperature datasets during the instrumental period, and has a similar level of reliability as the Twentieth Century Reanalysis which assimilates surface pressure observations. In addition, the dataset shows a high level of agreement with previous proxy-based reconstructions (average correlation of annual mean NH temperatures is r = 0.61). The dataset can be used to study the temperature variability over the NH and some regions of the NH during the past millennium (1000-2000 AD).

Here we present a record of Holocene lake hydrodynamic intensity based on the grain size of suspended lacustrine silt isolated from the sediments of Bosten Lake. The larger the size of the suspended lacustrine silt, the stronger the hydrodynamic intensity of the lake at that time, that is, the larger the inflow and outflow, the higher the water level of the lake, and vice versa. The data can be used to indicate the evolution of lake hydrodynamics since Holocene, and provide theoretical support for the study of climate, hydrology and water resources changes in the region. This method is only suitable for the analysis of lake sediments with open basin and stable sedimental environment, and it is not suitable to use this method when the sedimentary facies changes greatly.

Paleoecological and paleolimnological studies can provide a long-term perspective on changes in environmental and ecosystem processes. The sediments documented both direct and indirect impacts of climate change and human activities on aquatic ecosystems. The fossils of zooplankton remain and pigments in lake sediments can reflect community structure changes of primary producers and primary consumers. The authors reconstructed the zooplankton and algal community changes during the past 600 years using carapaces of A. tibetiana and resting eggs of D. tibetana and pigments from the sediments of Dagze Co, in the central Tibet Plateau. Using total nitrogen and total phosphorus reconstructed the nutrient changes. These results suggest that algal community structure and changes in production can be attributed to alterations in the zooplankton community, with important implications for Tibetan aquatic ecosystems.
