Short summary
This work presents the observation of the Early Jurassic terrestrial climate from the Sichuan paleobasin, southeastern China. Results manifest a (semi)arid climate in the study area, where the climate pattern is similar to the Colorado Plateau. The estimated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is 980–2610 ppmV with a mean of 1660 ppmV. The change of carbon dioxide concentration is compatible with the excursions of stable isotopes and seawater temperature from the coeval marine sediments.
