Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Looss-Paleosols are regarded as one of the indictors of paleoclimate. In this paper we reported the structural, grain-size characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols of Xingang Section, located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Combined with the OSL chronology data, the paleoclimate implications were extracted. The results show that the structural, grain-size characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols of Xingang Section correspond well with the Loess-Paleosols in Chinese Loess Plateau. The Optically Simulated Luminescene (OSL) dating at the bottom is 79.83 Ka, which means the Loess-Paleosols were formed at the beginning of the Last Glacial period. The ages of the paleosols are 84.84-101.4 Ka, which indicates the paleosols were formed under the relatively warm and wet environment between the end of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Characteristics of the Loess-Paleosols were the reflection of the winter monsoon and hydrothermal conditions of the middle Yangtze River during the last glacial and interglacial period.
