Short summary
Short summary
The synchronization of rain and heat is an important hypothesis, which contains the summer precipitation regime and the winter precipitation regime. In this paper, EA and part of CA with the summer precipitation regime are selected to study dry/wet status in multi-time scales since the LGM. This study found that although climate difference in EA and CA universally exists, climate linkages in EA and part of CA with the summer precipitation regime can be uncovered.

The objective of this study is present the first gridded and temporally continuous quantitative plant-cover reconstruction for temperate and northern subtropical China over the last 12 millennia. The reconstructions are based on 94 pollen records and include estimates for 27 plant taxa, 10 plant functional types, and 3 land-cover types. The dataset is suitable for palaeoclimate modelling and the evaluation of simulated past vegetation cover and anthropogenic land-cover change from models.

Short summary
Monsoons and westerly winds interact with each other in the middle to low latitudes. We track millennial-scale evolution characteristics of monsoons and westerly winds over the past 21 000 years. In the monsoon-dominated regions of Asia, a humid climate prevails in the past 6000–10 000 years, while in the westerly-wind-dominated regions of Asia, the climate is relatively humid around 21 000 years and 6000 years ago.

Short summary
In the Mediterranean the vine has been an important part of the economy since Roman times. Viticulture expanded within Gaul during warmer climate phases and regressed during cold periods. Now it is spreading strongly to northern Europe and suffering from drought in North Africa, Spain, and southern Italy. This will worsen if global warming exceeds 2 °C above the preindustrial period. While the driver of this is increased greenhouse gases, we show that the main past forcing was volcanic activity.

The manuscript identifies the main volcanic phases in the Laguna del Maule volcanic field and their impact in the lake basin through the late glacial and Holocene. We show that the bio-productivity and geochemical variabilities in the lake are related with climatic dynamics type ENSO, SPA and SWW and that the main phases are synchronous with the major regional climate changes on millennial timescales.

Short summary
Integrating discharge data of the River Ammer back to 1926 and a 5500-year flood layer record from an annually laminated sediment core of the downstream Ammersee allowed investigating changes in the frequency of major floods in Central Europe on interannual to multi-centennial timescales. Significant correlations between flood frequency variations in both archives and changes in the activity of the Sun suggest a solar influence on the frequency of these hydrometeorological extremes.

Short summary
Many closed-basin lakes are now drying, causing water crisis in hinterlands; however, many were much wetter in a similar warm world 6000 years ago. Why do they respond differently and will it be wetter or drier? We assess the wet–dry status and mechanism at different timescales and suggest that moisture change in the past and future warm periods are controlled by summer and winter precipitation, respectively. Diversified responses in different closed basins need a more resilient strategy.
