Comparing the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) with the present interglacial period (MIS 1) using a multidimensional functional diversity analysis: The marine molluscs from Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central Atlantic) as a case study

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine fossil records hold outstanding importance for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Santa Maria Island in the Azores Archipelago (central Atlantic) features a remarkable marine fossil record spanning from the Pliocene to recent times.

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Physiological model to estimate the maturity of sugarcane Modelo fisiológico para a estimativa da maturação em cana-de-açúcar

Scientia Agricola, 2009
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) grows in different weather and management conditions which directly affect crop maturation. These conditions lead to the necessity of quantifying crop response to different stimuli for planning purposes. Forecast models for the

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.
