Abstract The late Ming Dynasty Megadrought (LMDMD) (1637–1643) occurred at the end of and is severest drought event in China last millennium. This unprecedented contributed significantly to collapse 1644, casting profound impacts on Chinese history. Here, physical mechanism for LMDMD studied. Based paleoclimate reconstructions, we hypothesize that this was initially triggered by a natural starting 1637 then intensified extended tropical volcanic eruption Mount Parker 1641. hypothesis...

Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology characterized by lymph node enlargement. CD cannot be confirmed preoperative puncture cytology, and definitive diagnosis depends on postoperative histopathology. Due to the lack characteristic clinical manifestations imaging features, in practice, often easily missed or misdiagnosed, it frequently mistaken for lymphoma autoimmune diseases. Cases that coexist with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are...

Abstract Previous studies show that volcanic eruptions can intensify and extend drought events triggered by internal variability over Eastern China. However, it has remained unclear whether occurring in different phases have impacts. Here, based on multiple reconstructions, simulations, as well sensitivity experiments with forcing imposed the early late of droughts, we propose a nonlinear effect events. Late‐phase exert greater impact persistence intensity while early‐phase induce modest...

Abstract Northern China (35°–50°N; 105°–125°E) has experienced a multidecadal aridification since 1950s, which was mainly manifested by multi‐decadal scale decreases of regional precipitation and soil moisture, brought severe influences on societal economic developments. However, the position this among historical events over northern during last millennium not been fully assessed. Furthermore, contributions from anthropogenic forcings, natural internal variability have quantitatively...

Abstract Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) is a cornerstone for decadal prediction and profoundly influences regional global climate variability, yet its fundamental drivers remain an issue debate. Studies suggest that external forcing may have affected AMV during the Little Ice Age (AD 1400–1860). However, detailed mechanism remains elusive, AMV’s centennial to millennial variations over past 2000 years not been explored. We first show proxy-data reconstructions paleo-data...

Abstract Amplified warming over high‐elevation regions has been observed in recent decades, affecting mountain hydrological systems, ecosystems, and socioeconomic development. However, whether natural forcing the past caused similar elevation‐dependent temperature changes is unclear. Because limited observational data constrain our understanding of such corresponding mechanisms, here we use multi‐model long‐term simulations to show that cooling (EDC) occurred after major volcanic eruptions...
