Abstract

Abstract The grain size records of loess-paleosol deposit in China are some of the most important terrestrial records of the Quaternary. It systematically carried out fieldwork on loess profile of Tuoji Island on Miaodao Islands and Changyi profile on the Laizhou Bay plain, analyzed grain size of 220 and 86 samples respectively. It shows the grain size of loess in Tuoji Island profile coarser than Changyi profile. The environment-sensitive size fractions of Tuoji Island and Changyi loess section respectively are 89.1-100.0colonm and 70.8-79.4colonm, by analyzing grain-size class vs. standard deviation values method. The changes of grain size characteristics of loess-paleosol recorded in different sections implicated the much plentiful materials in the Changyi profile on Laizhou Bay plain than Tuoji profile on Miaodao Islands.
