Fire and biodiversity in the Anthropocene [PDF]

Science, 2020
Fire's growing impacts on ecosystems Fire has played a prominent role in the evolution of biodiversity and is a natural factor shaping many ecological communities. However, the incidence of fire has been exacerbated by human activity, and this is now affecting ecosystems and habitats that have never been fire prone or fire ...

Glacial geomorphology of the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica

Journal of Maps, 2019
Several regions of tropical America show imprints of past glacial activity. These relict landforms can support the understanding of past climate conditions, such as during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and the implications that these paleoclimatic ...

Stratigraphy of the Anthropocene

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2011
The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using stratigraphic criteria. It is complex in time, space and process, and may be considered in terms of the scale, relative timing, duration and novelty of its various phenomena. The
