ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

Soil genesis in a marine terrace sequence of Sicily, Italy
Knowledge about the rates of pedogenic processes is essential to understand landscape development and history. It can be attained by the quantitative investigation of soil chronosequences.

Abstract The C : N : P of nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria regulates phosphate‐limited nitrogen fixation in the ocean yet the causes and range in variation C : N : P is not well constrained. Here we quantify the C : N : P and underlying macromolecular composition of Crocosphaera.

Orthoptera insects (hereinafter – orthopterans) play a key role in grassland ecosystems and are often used as indicators of their condition. To conserve these insects and to model their habitat preferences, we need to know patterns of their distribution ...

Abstract Lateral erosion of salt marshes via cliff retreat is a primary cause of global marsh loss, driven by interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment, and vegetation. While previous studies show a linear relationship between wave power and cliff retreat, models based on this relationship are largely unvalidated for short‐term (sub‐yearly) and ...

Paleoseismic Evidence of Recent Co‐Seismic Ruptures in Western Tierra del Fuego, Chile
Abstract The Magallanes‐Fagnano fault (MFF) in Tierra del Fuego (TDF) is a major left‐lateral transform boundary between the South American and Scotia plates. While surface ruptures associated with the 1949 earthquakes have been documented in Argentina east of the Fagnano Lake, their extension to the west remained uncertain.

This paper illustrates a detailed geomorphological map (scale 1:50,000) of the marine and transitional terraces (glacio-lacustrine to marine) and raised shorelines linked to Holocene glacio-eustasy and neo-tectonics in the northern area of the Brunswick ...

Active Tectonics of the Eastern and Southern Alps ‐ Crustal Response to Deep Processes? A Review
Abstract Owing to the low N‐S convergence rates between Adria and Europe, crustal deformation rates in the Alps and its forelands are low. Active tectonics are, therefore, difficult to study, especially as non‐tectonic landscape forming processes can erase or modify the tectonic surface imprint. Large‐scale and dense seismological data recently offered

Riverbanks in semi-arid Mediterranean environments are dynamic features constantly shaped by natural factors and human interventions. Wadi Tamri’s lower valley, with its large alluvial plain, fragile terraces, and mixed marine/continental deposits, is a ...

Abstract Fjords are globally significant sedimentary archives that record the relationship between glacial, tectonic, and marine processes. Fiordland, on the southwest coast of New Zealand, hosts one of the most extensive temperate fjord provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, yet its postglacial evolution has remained poorly constrained.
