This article is a brief introduction to the Special Issue on Holocene Dust Dynamics, which brings together recent research on a key aspect of the Earth’s changing climate through its effects on radiative balance, cloud cover and biogeochemical cycles. The aim of the Special Issue is to contribute to a better understanding of the role of dust aerosols by analysing the evolution and climatic impact of atmospheric dust over long and short timescales within the Holocene. Here, we introduce the rationale behind the Special Issue and the eight research papers, which include long-term records of dust deposition from different types of natural archive (e.g. peatlands, ice, loess and lake sediments) as well as present-day multi-annual dust trap records and process studies from various climatic regimes that have global implications.

全新世尘埃动力学：特刊介绍

这篇文章是对全新世尘埃动力学特刊的简要介绍，它汇集了最近对地球气候变化的一个关键方面的研究，通过其对辐射平衡、云量和生物地球化学循环的影响。本期特刊的目的是通过分析全新世内长短时间尺度上大气尘埃的演变和气候影响，帮助更好地了解尘埃气溶胶的作用。在这里，我们介绍了特刊和八篇研究论文背后的基本原理，其中包括来自不同类型自然档案（例如泥炭地、冰、黄土和湖泊沉积物）以及当今多来自具有全球影响的各种气候状况的年度除尘器记录和过程研究。
