英文摘要	Magnetic parameters are widely used in the loess-palaeosol sequence tracing Quaternary climate change on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). However, the climatic implication and magnetic enhancement mechanism in aeolian Red Clay on the CLP is still debated. Chlorite is a common Fe-bearing silicate in Red Clay and it is easily to be weathered. The transformation of weakly magnetic ferrihydrite, a product in chlorite weathering process, into strongly magnetic iron oxides has been linked to magnetic enhancement in many soils. Here, we present a complete chlorite weathering record within the Red Clay sequence through a detailed mineralogical investigation, from a 125-m thick eolian Red Clay deposit in the Chaona section (~8.1 to 2.6 Ma) of the central CLP to explore the link between changes in chlorite geochemical composition and magnetic susceptibility enhancement and regional climate. The results suggest a concomitant evolution of chlorite Fe content and magnetic susceptibility, indicating that Fe released from chlorite brucite-like interlayers, which induced ferrihydrite formation, is responsible for the enhanced magnetic susceptibility in the CLP Red Clay deposits. Moreover, the results also show that the chlorite Fe content exhibited a stepwise decrease, with two accelerated stages at ~6.2 Ma and ~3.6 Ma. The post-6.2 Ma evolution of chlorite Fe content is related to increased precipitation caused by phased enhancement of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). Our study also suggests that changes in chlorite chemical composition and crystallinity linked to soil weathering are useful proxies in tracing past weathering intensity and climate change within arid-less humid regime. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
