Supplemental Material: Early to middle Eocene (50–43 Ma) Xianqian Basin in central Tibet: Archives of arid paleoenvironments and a southward plateau uplift trend

Key Points

• The research highlights a trend of plateau uplift during the Eocene, impacting climate and ecosystems.
• Analysis of paleoenvironments in the Xianqian Basin indicates significant aridity around 50–43 Ma.
• Findings contribute to understanding the geological history of central Tibet and its climatic evolution.
• Understanding these trends is essential for insights into past environmental conditions and landscape evolution.
