Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Channel incision can disconnect streams from their floodplains, potentially depleting carbon (C) in riparian soils by stimulating microbial decomposition. Stream restoration may offer an opportunity to replenish soil C pools by saturating riparian soils with water and slowing microbial activity.

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

Properties of thermally recycled basalt fibres and basalt fibre composites
, 2018 The reduction to the tensile failure stress caused by high-temperature incineration of basalt fibres is investigated. The failure stress of single basalt fibres and tows decreases rapidly with increasing temperature when heated above ~ 250 °C, and at ...

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.
