| As one of the youngest geologic ages, the climate and environmental changes of Holocene are closely related to human social development. The research progress of Holocene paleoclimate and paleoenvironment in recent years was reviewed, and the common methods of reconstructing paleoclimate and paleoenvironment were summarized. The application of biomarkers, including terpenoids, long-chain alkenones, glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether, sterols, alkyl esters, lignin and pigments in this field was mainly introduced. The development of new biomarkers, the construction of multi-indicator system, and the cross research with geomicrobiology, biochemistry, microbiology and other related disciplines were proposed. |
