Millennial-timescale quantitative estimates of climate dynamics in central Europe from earthworm calcite granules in loess deposits

Western-central European summers were about 6–10 °C cooler with roughly 30–70% less precipitation during last glacial climate oscillations compared to modern values, according to quantitative paleoclimate estimates based on earthworm calcite granules.
