When did the Ancient Fen River Dry up? Timing and Mechanisms of River Abandonment in the Yuncheng Basin (Southern North China Craton) Based on Sedimentary and Paleoclimatic Evidence
Key Points
River abandonment occurred due to major climatic changes, impacting sediment deposition processes.
Key findings indicate sedimentary and paleoclimatic evidence supports a gradual drying trend over centuries.
Analysis of geologic samples identified changes in river dynamics linked to climatic shifts in the region.
Implications highlight the need for further studies on ancient waterways and their responses to climate variations.
