Abstract
Loess-paleosol sequences at the Chinese Loess Plateau have been proved the best-preserved carriers of paleoenvironmental information. Studies on carbon isotopes in loess-paleosol sequences could obtain useful information for paleobotany and paleoclimatology and reconstruction of paleoenvironment. This literature review points out some imperfections of previous studies and suggests that future studies regarding relationship between carbon isotopes and other climate factors, carbon isotopic fractionation during transformation of plant materials to soil organic matter under different ecological conditions, and carbon isotopes in modern soils of Chinese Loess Plateau should be given priority.
