Climate and geology overwrite land use effects on soil organic nitrogen cycling on a continental scale [PDF]
Soil fertility and plant productivity are globally constrained by N availability. Proteins are the largest N reservoir in soils, and the cleavage of proteins into small peptides and amino acids has been shown to be the rate-limiting step in the ...

Structural framework and timing of the Pahtohavare Cu ± Au deposits, Kiruna mining district, Sweden [PDF]
As part of the larger mineral systems approach to Cu-bearing mineralization in northern Norrbotten, this study utilizes structural geology to set the classic Pahtohavare Cu ± Au deposits into an up-to-date tectonic framework.

Crystal characteristics of fibrous calcite veins based on Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD)
Calcite veins are widely developed in organic-rich shale, and their petrological characteristics and genetic mechanism are the focus of research. The Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) can characterize the micro-structure and orientation of mineral

SHORT NOTES ON THE SHIMSHAL VALLEY GEOLOGY (WESTERN KARAKORUM-PAKISTAN)
A geological reconnaissance carried out during Summer 1982 along the lower and middle Shimshal Valley allows to identify some lithostratigraphic units madc up of slates (shaly and sandy deep— sea turbidites), shelf limestones and dolomites.

Gradational development of slaty cleavage to schistosity -an example from the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Spain- [PDF]
The Iberian Pyrite Belt is an Upper Paleozoic succession which has been divided into the Phyllite-Quartzite Group, the Volcanic-Sliceous Complex and the Culm Group in ascending order from base to the top. The contacts among them are conformable.

The Mesozoic along-strike tectono-metamorphic segmentation of Longmen Shan (eastern Tibetan plateau) [PDF]
The Longmen Shan belt (eastern border of the Tibetan plateau) constitutes a tectonically active region as demonstrated by the occurrence of the unexpected 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan and 2013 Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquakes in the central and southern parts of the ...

Structural history of the southwestern corner of the Kaapvaal Craton and the adjacent Namaqua realm: new observations and a reappraisal [PDF]
The rocks along the southwestern margin of the Kaapvaal Craton were deformed up to 7 times during the Early to Middle Proterozoic. The oldest deformation D1 is recorded in the N-S-trending Uitkoms cataclasite of pre-Makganyene age (>2.24 Ga) on the ...
