Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • China

Houyuan Lu mainly investigates Holocene, Climatology, Monsoon, Pollen and Phytolith. Houyuan Lu works mostly in the field of Holocene, limiting it down to concerns involving Climate change and, occasionally, Glacial period. His studies examine the connections between Climatology and genetics, as well as such issues in Vegetation, with regards to Subtropics, Holocene climatic optimum, Physical geography and Ordination.

His Monsoon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as East asian summer monsoon, Tropical climate, Southern Hemisphere, Atmospheric circulation and Stalagmite. Ecology covers he research in Pollen. His Phytolith research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Foxtail, Agronomy and Domestication.

His most cited work include:

  • Earliest domestication of common millet (Panicum miliaceum) in East Asia extended to 10,000 years ago. (393 citations)
  • East Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability since the last deglaciation (332 citations)
  • Early millet use in northern China (231 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Houyuan Lu mainly focuses on Phytolith, Holocene, China, Ecology and Domestication. His Phytolith research incorporates themes from Bract, Inflorescence, Total organic carbon, Soil test and Archaeology. His research in Holocene intersects with topics in Monsoon, Climate change, Pollen and Physical geography.

His studies deal with areas such as Climatology and Vegetation as well as Pollen. His research investigates the link between China and topics such as Agriculture that cross with problems in Agroforestry. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Domestication, focusing on Agronomy and, on occasion, Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Phytolith (29.32%)
  • Holocene (30.83%)
  • China (18.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Holocene (30.83%)
  • Physical geography (21.80%)
  • Phytolith (29.32%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Houyuan Lu focuses on Holocene, Physical geography, Phytolith, China and Radiocarbon dating. His Holocene research integrates issues from Sedimentary rock, Ecology and Environmental change. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paleomagnetism, Range, Monsoon and Multi proxy.

His studies in Monsoon integrate themes in fields like Synoptic table of the principal old world prehistoric cultures, Flooding and Pollen. His study in Phytolith is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Domestication and Subtropical china. His Radiocarbon dating research incorporates elements of Climate change and Wetland.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Synchronous 500-year oscillations of monsoon climate and human activity in Northeast Asia. (27 citations)
  • Synchronous 500-year oscillations of monsoon climate and human activity in Northeast Asia. (27 citations)
  • Assessing the occurrence and status of wheat in late Neolithic central China: the importance of direct AMS radiocarbon dates from Xiazhai. (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • China

Radiocarbon dating, Holocene, Phytolith, Physical geography and Climate change are his primary areas of study. His research in Radiocarbon dating tackles topics such as China which are related to areas like Subsistence agriculture, Urbanization and Bronze Age. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental change and Eastern china.

His work deals with themes such as Younger Dryas, Domestication, Marine transgression and Pleistocene, which intersect with Phytolith. His Domestication study incorporates themes from Wild species, Botany, Ancient DNA and Southern china. His Physical geography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Monsoon, Synoptic table of the principal old world prehistoric cultures and East Asia.
