Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Holocene, Monsoon, Physical geography and Pollen. His research links Precipitation with Holocene. His Monsoon research integrates issues from Speleothem and Paleoclimatology.

His work deals with themes such as Steppe and Climate change, which intersect with Physical geography. The Steppe study combines topics in areas such as Evergreen, Vegetation and Biome. The Pollen core research Qinghai Xu does as part of his general Pollen study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Pollen source, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Holocene vegetation variation in the Daihai Lake region of north-central China: a direct indication of the Asian monsoon climatic history (344 citations)
  • Palaeovegetation of China: a pollen data‐based synthesis for the mid‐Holocene and last glacial maximum (313 citations)
  • Holocene precipitation and temperature variations in the East Asian monsoonal margin from pollen data from Hulun Lake in northeastern Inner Mongolia, China (121 citations)

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

Qinghai Xu focuses on Pollen, Physical geography, Vegetation, Holocene and Precipitation. His Pollen research incorporates elements of Taxon and Hydrology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate change, Paleoclimatology, Palynology, Drainage basin and Sediment.

His Vegetation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Structural basin, Steppe, Temperate climate, Arid and Plateau. Qinghai Xu combines subjects such as Land cover, Monsoon and China with his study of Holocene. His Precipitation research focuses on subjects like Climatology, which are linked to East asian summer monsoon and Holocene climatic optimum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pollen (80.83%)
  • Physical geography (48.33%)
  • Vegetation (57.50%)

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

  • Physical geography (48.33%)
  • Pollen (80.83%)
  • Vegetation (57.50%)

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

Qinghai Xu mainly focuses on Physical geography, Pollen, Vegetation, Holocene and Climate change. His Physical geography research incorporates themes from Temperate climate, Drainage basin, Sediment, Land cover and Plateau. His Pollen study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taxon, Kobresia, Evergreen and Deciduous.

The various areas that Qinghai Xu examines in his Vegetation study include Radiocarbon dating, Pleistocene, Younger Dryas, Spore and Arboreal locomotion. His studies deal with areas such as China, Monsoon, Chronology and Precipitation as well as Holocene. His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Structural basin, Early Pleistocene and Quaternary.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Position and orientation of the westerly jet determined Holocene rainfall patterns in China. (73 citations)
  • Asian dust-storm activity dominated by Chinese dynasty changes since 2000 BP. (19 citations)
  • Towards quantification of Holocene anthropogenic land-cover change in temperate China: A review in the light of pollen-based REVEALS reconstructions of regional plant cover (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Botany

Physical geography, Climate change, Holocene, Vegetation and East asian summer monsoon are his primary areas of study. His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both East Asian Monsoon, History of China and Topsoil. The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant cover, Plateau and Canonical correspondence analysis in addition to Climate change.

His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Land cover, Plant functional type, Monsoon and Hydrology. The concepts of his Vegetation study are interwoven with issues in Subtropics, Steppe, Pollen, Temperate climate and Temperate deciduous forest. His Pollen research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin, Quaternary, Deciduous, Early Pleistocene and Evergreen.
