摘要
On the basis of the data of sporo-pollen analysis, the weathering index of loess and paleosol layers and the climatic differences between the periods of the formation of loess and paleosol as reflected by intensities of natural remanent magnetization of loess and paleosol, it may be confirmed that the loess layers represent the climate of glacial stages, while paleosol was formed during interglacial stages. The climatic changes in the loess area of China have undergone 23 cycles which were combined with the paleomagnetic dating. TL ages of paleosol layers and the average ages of termination could be excellently correlated with the δ^(18)O stages of deep sea core V_(28-239). Thus, it may be recognized that the Luochuan and Xi'an loess-paleosol sequences are the typical climatostratigraphy in China and even in the world.
