Subduction of oceanic slabs can physically and chemically modify mantle wedges, but how mantle wedges are temporally evolved is difficult to be constrained. In this study, we use in situ zircon U–Pb ages and Hf–O isotopes of mafic intrusions to examine a coupled evolution of magmas and mantle source...
