Visualizing land‐use and management complexity within biogeochemical cycles of an agricultural landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Crop fields are cultivated across continuities of soil, topography, and local climate that drive biological processes and nutrient cycling at the landscape scale; yet land management and agricultural research are often performed at the field scale ...

Lagoon Biogeochemical Processing is Reflected in Spatial Patterns of Sediment Stable Isotopic Ratios

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The spatial analysis of biota, particulate organic matter, and sediments for stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N), and sulfur (δ34S) have proved useful for identifying patterns in productivity, nutrient pollution, and relationships between ...

The Circulation of Ancient Animal Resources Across the Yellow River Basin: A Preliminary Bayesian Re-evaluation of Sr Isotope Data From the Early Neolithic to the Western Zhou Dynasty

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Many questions still remain regarding the acquisition and circulation of ancient domesticated animals across the Yellow River Basin, one of the key areas for the development of complex societies in ancient China. Here, we re-evaluate previously published

A strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape of Southern Ethiopia: implications for hominin land use and faunal mobility patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Tracing human and animal mobility behavior, land use, and exploitation strategies through strontium (Sr) isotope analysis is critical for archaeological and palaeoecological research.

Laser ablation strontium isotopes and spatial assignment show seasonal mobility in red deer (Cervus elaphus) at Lazaret Cave, France (MIS 6)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Zooarchaeological analysis is a useful means of exploring faunal palaeoecology, paleoclimate and past human behaviours. The Middle Pleistocene archaeological site Lazaret Cave, located in modern-day Nice, France, features a vast assemblage of faunal ...

Combining Models of Environment, Behavior, and Physiology to Predict Tissue Hydrogen and Oxygen Isotope Variance Among Individual Terrestrial Animals

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Variations in stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios in terrestrial animal tissues are used to reconstruct origin and movement. An underlying assumption of these applications is that tissues grown at the same site share a similar isotopic signal ...

Emerging strontium isoscapes of Anatolia (Türkiye): new datasets and perspectives in bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr baseline studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Archaeology
IntroductionThe use of strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr) analysis in ancient mobility studies in the archaeology of Anatolia (modern Türkiye) has steadily grown since the early 2010s.

Variability in Bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr in the North American Midcontinent

open access: yesOpen Quaternary, 2017
Strontium (Sr) isotope tracers are useful for understanding provenance and mobility in biological materials across multiple disciplines. However, the impact of these techniques is highly dependent on the construction of appropriate comparative baselines (

A bioavailable strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape for Aotearoa New Zealand: Implications for food forensics and biosecurity

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
As people, animals and materials are transported across increasingly large distances in a globalized world, threats to our biosecurity and food security are rising.

An ensemble machine learning bioavailable strontium isoscape for Eastern Canada

open access: yesFACETS
Bioavailable strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) distribution across the landscape mainly follow the underlying lithology, making 87Sr/86Sr baseline maps (isoscapes) powerful tools for provenance studies.
