How glaciers exploit prior fractures to quarry beds of partially intact rock

Journal of Glaciology
Quarrying is a significant, locally dominant glacial erosion process. For settings where glaciers cut into partially intact bedrock, prior work has hypothesized that it occurs when glaciers impose spatially concentrated loads to drive fracture growth in ...

Revisiting the phylogenetic relationships within Sladenia (Sladeniaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Geological and climatic changes associated with the Ailao Shan–Red River shear zone (ARSZ) are thought to have influenced the evolutionary history of many mostly drought‐adapted low‐elevation plant lineages in southwestern China, yet their role in shaping genetic divergence in montane cloud‐forest plants remains poorly understood.

The influence of the lithological and geotechnical properties of rocks on the morphology of glacial valleys [PDF]

, 2013
The glacial valley cross-profile has traditionally had its development attrituted to the physical properties of the eroding glacier, with the input of the properties of the eroded rock mass to the development of the valley system considered in a purely ...

FennoTraits: dataset of plant functional traits and community composition in northern European flora

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
We present here FennoTraits, a dataset of plant functional trait and community composition data collected from Fennoscandia across northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden in 2016–2025. This dataset has 42 049 abundance estimations and 155 794 site‐level functional trait observations from 10 traits representing 373 vascular plant species collected from ...

Reconstructing ice dynamics in the central sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet [PDF]

, 2010
The central sector (NW England and Scottish borders) of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet exhibits a palimpsest glacial geological and geomorphological signature characteristic of multi-phase ice flow and ice-marginal fluctuations. Despite its influential

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Late Pleistocene to Holocene glacial, periglacial, and paraglacial geomorphology of the upper Río Limarí basin (30–31° S) in the Andes of central Chile

Journal of Maps
We present a field-based reconstruction of the geomorphology in the Subtropical Andean mountains of the Limarí basin, semiarid central Chile (30–31° S). Fieldwork campaigns and remote-sensing analysis served for detailed geomorphological mapping at four ...
