The　Silurian–Devonian　Boundary　(SDB)　was　the　first　Global　Stratotype　Section　and　Point　(GSSP)　to　be　established.　Extensive　and　well-preserved　SDB　strata　are　found　in　Western　Europe　and　North　America.　Territory　of　China　is　composed　of　multiple　plates　and　terranes,　which　were　located　in　the　equatorial　and　low-latitude　regions　of　the　northern　hemisphere　during　the　late　Silurian　to　the　Early　Devonian.　Due　to　the　Kwangsian　Orogeny,　continuous　Silurian-Devonian　sequences　are　absent　in　the　main　parts　of　North　China,　Yangtze,　and　Tarim　cratons　in　China.　Accordingly,　continuous　stratal　sections　across　the　SDB　have　only　been　sporadically　reported　from　the　orogenic　belts　and　southwestern　margin　of　South　China.　The　lack　of　continuous　carbonate　sediments　during　the　Silurian-Devonian　and　scarcity　of　fossil　markers　obtained　has　long　time　limited　for　complex　research　on　the　SDB　in　China.　However,　the　discovery　of　the　conodont　Caudicriodus　woschmidti　in　several　regions,　and　the　widespread　presence　of　encrinurid　trilobites　and　crinoids,　have　allowed　recognition　of　the　SDB　in　China.　Abundant　volcanic　material　near　the　SDB　facilitates　high-precision　chronological　studies.　Apart　from　the　global　δ13C　positive　excursion　and　Icriodus　Event　above　the　SDB,　most　other　events　are　only　evident　in　certain　regions　or　even　in　a　single　section.　Therefore,　there　is　an　urgent　need　for　more　data　and　evidence　from　other　areas　and　plates.　This　work　summarizes　research　on　the　SDB　in　China　from　various　tectonic　settings,　tectonic　plates,　and　from　different　facies　and　regions,　and　provides　a　brief　review　of　the　research　history,　current　state　of　art,　achievements　in　study　of　the　SDB　in　China,　and　outlines　prospects　for　future　research.　©　2024　Elsevier　B.V.
