The Dual Origin of the Terrestrial Atmosphere

open access: yes, 2003
The origin of the terrestrial atmosphere is one of the most puzzling enigmas in the planetary sciences. It is suggested here that two sources contributed to its formation, fractionated nebular gases and accreted cometary volatiles.

Morphological and dietary responses of chipmunks to a century of climate change. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Predicting how individual taxa will respond to climatic change is challenging, in part because the impacts of environmental conditions can vary markedly, even among closely related species.

Nitrogen isotope effects induced by anammox bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Nitrogen is essential for all organisms and limits primary production in the ocean. It is mainly lost from low-oxygen environments by the activity of microorganisms that convert fixed nitrogen to N 2 gas.

A basin‐wide carbon‐related proxy dataset in arid China

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal
Closed basin accounts for about one‐fifth of the global land area and is an important part of the global terrestrial carbon cycle. Due to its relatively close geographical environment and independent carbon cycling system, it is an ideal place to study ...

Trophic interactions of meso- and macrozooplankton and fish in the Iceland Sea as evaluated by fatty acid and stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A trophic study was carried out in August of 2007 and 2008 on the pelagic ecosystem in the Subarctic Iceland Sea. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers were used to study trophic linkages and the trophic ecology of the most ...

The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system.

Food webs in forest and pasture streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand: A study based on analyses of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and fish gut contents. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) were studied in 11 stream communities in the Waikato region of New Zealand. From comparisons of mean d13C and d15N values, food webs in the shaded, forest streams were clearly based on allochthonous material

Identification of nitrate sources and transformation in karst cave water using hydrochemistry and NO3− isotopes (δ15N/δ18O) combined with a Bayesian mixing model

open access: yesAll Earth
Nitrogen mainly exists as nitrate in aqueous environments. In karst areas, nitrate pollution caused by anthropogenic activities severely endangers aqueous systems.

Composite Millicharged Dark Matter

open access: yes, 2013
We study a composite millicharged dark matter model. The dark matter is in the form of pion-like objects emerging from a higher scale QCD-like theory.

The Nitrogen Isotopic Composition of Tissue and Shell‐Bound Organic Matter of Planktic Foraminifera in Southern Ocean Surface Waters

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
We present the first nitrogen isotope (δ15N) measurements of planktic foraminifera, paleoceanographically important zooplankton, from the nutrient‐rich waters of the modern Southern Ocean. Foraminifera were collected from net tows in the Subantarctic and
