Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]
, 2013 In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Dynamic allometry in coastal overwash morphology [PDF]
, 2020 Allometry refers to a physical principle in which geometric (and/or metabolic) characteristics of an object or organism are correlated to its size. Allometric scaling relationships typically manifest as power laws.

Complexity of Quaternary aeolian dynamics (Canary Islands)
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2017 Abstract Carbonate aeolianites are important Quaternary archives at the point of intersection between marine and terrestrial systems. Since they are composed of alternating aeolian sediments and several paleosol units, these sequences are highly suitable to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental conditions. In northern Fuerteventura, at least five different

Riflessioni con Vincenzo Cabianca sulle Isole Eolie
Ri-vista: Ricerche per la Progettazione del Paesaggio, 2015 With Vincenzo Cabianca, planner of Aeolian Islands landscape, we talk about scientific knowledge and landscape planning in small islands. In particular, when natural system is so strongly giving shape from the viewpoint of geophysics and vulcanology ...

A new model for the formation of microbial polygons in a coastal sabkha setting [PDF]
, 2017 The stratigraphic record of microbially induced sedimentary structures spans most of the depositional record. Today, microbes continue to generate, bind and modify sediments in a vast range of depositional environments.
