Equivalent dose measurements were carried out using the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol on silt (4\u201311 \u03bcm) and sand-sized (63\u201390 \u03bcm and coarser fraction when available) quartz. Feldspar infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) emitted by 4\u201311 \u03bcm polymineral grains was measured using the post IR-IRSL290 technique. The paleoenvironmental transition from the last glacial loess to the current interglacial soil was characterized using magnetic susceptibility and its frequency dependence. SAR-OSL dating of 4\u201311 \u03bcm, 63\u201390 \u03bcm and 90\u2013125 \u03bcm quartz provided consistent ages in the loess-paleosol sites investigated, while the post-IR IRSL290 protocol proved unreliable for dating such young samples. Based on these ages and the threshold of the magnetic signal enhancement the onset of soil formation has been placed around 16.6 \u00b1 1.1 ka at Roxolany (Ukraine), 13.5 \u00b1 0.9 ka at Mo\u0161orin (Serbia) and between 17.6 \u00b1 1.4 ka and 12.4 \u00b1 1.0 ka at R\u00e2mnicu S\u0103rat (Romania). The trend observed in the magnetic parameters reflects the intensity of pedogenesis induced by regional climate amelioration during the Late Glacial, but the onset of magnetic susceptibility enhancement precedes the stratigraphic boundary of Pleistocene-Holocene dated at 11.7 ka in ice core records. Thus, magnetic susceptibility indicates a gradual increase in pedogenesis after Termination 1 (\u223c17 ka in the North Atlantic) at the sampling sites. Based on current data, it is not possible to define a synchronous threshold of change for all sections. However, the trend in the magnetic susceptibility data closely reflects the gradual transition from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) towards the Holocene, with the onset of humus accumulation (A1 horizon) possibly linked to the prevalence of full interglacial conditions.", "keywords": ["PROTOCOL", "Luminescence dating", "Loess", "01 natural sciences", "Southeastern europe", "Magnetic susceptibility", "13.

Here we present a detailed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) chronology as well as multi-proxy analysis obtained for the first time on the Enders section, located in southwestern Nebraska, central Great Plains. The section records multiple episodes of rapid loess deposition alternating with soil formation. Rapid accumulation of Late Pleistocene Peoria Loess was replaced around 13-14 ka by formation of the Brady Soil until 9.5 \u00b1 0.6 ka. The Holocene Bignell Loess then buried the Brady Soil and accumulated episodically throughout the Holocene. The loess-paleosol stratigraphy since the Late Pleistocene at the Enders site is very similar to that at other sites in western Nebraska, and the newly developed OSL chronology (based on three grain size classes) adds new confidence to earlier dating. The high-resolution grain size profile from Enders shares many features with similar data from the previously studied Wauneta site, including three peaks of fine-grained material just above and within the Brady Soil, likely representing response to millennial-scale climatic changes during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. This study demonstrates the potential for developing high-resolution, well-dated paleoclimatic records from the loess of the central Great Plains. Contrasts between Great Plains and Eurasian loess records reflect differences in the Late Pleistocene to Holocene climatic evolution and other factors influencing the loess system.", "keywords": ["15.
