Guerra i evangelització en les missions jesuítiques de Moxos

Boletín Americanista, 2015
En els testimonis dels missioners jesuïtes, la població nativa de Moxos es caracteritza per la seva forta inclinació cap a la guerra. Com és possible, però, que un petit nombre de religiosos pogués domar a una gran població de guerrers valents i transformar-los en neòfits dòcils?

Assessing Methane Emissions From Tropical Wetlands: Uncertainties From Natural Variability and Drivers at the Global Scale

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Methane (CH4) emissions from tropical wetlands represent half of the global wetland emissions, but uncertainties remain concerning the extent of tropical methane sources. One limitation is to conceive tropical wetlands as a single ecosystem, especially in global land surface models.

Differing local‐scale responses of Bolivian Amazon forest ecotones to middle Holocene drought based upon multiproxy soil data

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 970-990, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Uncertainty remains over local‐scale responses of ecotonal Amazonian forests to middle Holocene drying due to the scarcity, and coarse spatial resolution, of lacustrine pollen records. This paper examines the palaeoecological potential of soil phytoliths, stable carbon isotopes and charcoal for capturing local‐scale ecotonal responses of ...

Atmospheric Methane: Comparison Between Methane's Record in 2006–2022 and During Glacial Terminations

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Atmospheric methane's rapid growth from late 2006 is unprecedented in the observational record. Assessment of atmospheric methane data attributes a large fraction of this atmospheric growth to increased natural emissions over the tropics, which appear to be responding to changes in anthropogenic climate forcing.

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam: Numeracy levels in the Guarani Jesuit missions

The Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 87-117, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This work provides data on human capital for the Guarani Jesuit missions during the eighteenth century. Based on the age heaping methodology, the results of a large sample (over 3600 observations) suggest that the knowledge of numerical skills in these missions was exceptional.

Could immersive daydreaming underlie a deficit in attention? The prevalence and characteristics of maladaptive daydreaming in individuals with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 2309-2328, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) entails excessive immersion and engagement in complex fantasy worlds, causing distress and impairing functioning. Maladaptive Daydreamers often report that existing diagnostic labels are unhelpful for them.

Amazon fires in the 21st century: The year of 2020 in evidence

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 10, Page 2026-2040, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim The aim was to evaluate fire activity for the entire Amazon and Amazon regions within each country/department from 2003 to 2020, assessing the potential contributions of drought and deforestation and contrasting 2020 with the previous years. Location Amazonia sensu lato. Time period Annually from 2003 to 2020.

Amazon Hydrology From Space: Scientific Advances and Future Challenges

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 59, Issue 4, December 2021., 2021
Abstract As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing (RS) have brought our understanding of its terrestrial water cycle and the associated hydrological processes to a new era.

Large Methane Emissions From the Pantanal During Rising Water‐Levels Revealed by Regularly Measured Lower Troposphere CH4 Profiles

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021
Abstract The Pantanal region of Brazil is the largest seasonally flooded tropical grassland and, according to local chamber measurements, a substantial CH4 source. CH4 emissions from wetlands have recently become of heightened interest because global atmospheric 13CH4 data indicate they may contribute to the resumption of atmospheric CH4 growth since ...
