Periglacial Puzzles: Unravelling Environmental Controls on Alpine Solifluction Lobe Dimensions and Shape

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Evolution and Characteristics of Fold on Northern Tianshan

Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2007
Four fold hills in the north margin of Tianshan Mountains are studied. Based on landform, stratum, and tectonic of fold,the evolution history of fold is discussed. The first fold came into being at the Miocene epoch of late Tertiary Period.

Genomic insights into the local adaptation of spontaneous olive trees in the Mediterranean Basin highlight the need for conservation planning in the face of global change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Mediterranean Basin, a major biodiversity hotspot, is highly vulnerable to climate and global changes. Wild olive trees form an essential part of this landscape and hold strong ecological, cultural and socio‐economic significance. By examining how these trees responded to past climatic conditions, this study shows adaptation of olive trees to local

Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2001
Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...
