説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>High-resolution reconstructions of storm history and storms’ underlying mechanisms in inland areas are critical but limited by a paucity of suitable paleoproxies. Here we use soil-derived magnetic minerals preserved in a stalagmite as a new paleohydrological proxy. This proxy enables us to rebuild decadal resolution storm records in the eastern Asian monsoon area since 8.6 ky. Variance of storms in central China was found to exhibit close correlation with El Niño−Southern Oscillation activity at millennial and centennial time scales, and also occur on a significant 500-y cycle related to periodic solar activity. These findings shed light on the forecasting of future floods and improve our understanding of the potential mechanism of strong precipitation in monsoon regions.</jats:p>
