Elevation, vegetation, samples type and proxy type for the surface transect from the New Mongolian-Siberian Data Base

DOI

Paleoclimate reconstructions appear to be unavoidable steps in the future climate change understanding and especially the local calibration of the paleoclimate proxies. The Mongolian Plateau in particular, is a scarcely studied area. Here we present a latitudinal transect from the southern Siberian Baikal area to the Mongolian part of the Gobi desert: the New Mongolian-Siberian DataBase (NMSDB). The 49 surface samples presented in this dataset are from different types: moss polsters, surface soil samples and lacustrine top-cores. Two paleoclimate proxies have been carried here: pollen analysis and biomarkers (glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers, GDGTs). The actual bioclimate parameters of each sample sites are derived from the ASTER data (NASA, 2014) for the elevation (m a.s.l.) and the WorldClim2.0 interpolated climate database (Fick et Hijmans, 2017) for the climate parameters. The latitude, longitude and elevation as well as the sample type and the proxy type for each site is given in this dataset. We also indicate the main vegetation type surrounding each surface samples.
