‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore ...

Functional Trait Space Reveals Resource Use Strategies of Woody Plants in the Lijiang River Basin. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We found that both trees and shrubs in Lijiang exhibited conservative strategies; shrubs showed greater dispersion in trait space. Lijiang species were more acquisitive, while Yangtze species emphasized stress tolerance and resource conservation. ABSTRACT Understanding how plants allocate resources under environmental constraint is central to trait ...

Beachrock formation influenced by co‐seismic deformation and relative sea‐level changes during the Holocene near the Gulf of Saros, Türkiye (NE Aegean Sea)

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
This is the first proof of beachrock found on the nearshore of the Gulf of Saros. Beachrock generation was influenced by tectonic activity, geomorphological processes, and sedimentation. The Late Holocene beachrock deposits were altered by co‐seismic deformation.
