Land use, hydroclimate and damming influence organic carbon sedimentation in a flood pulse wetland, Malaysia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water bodies located in floodplains and tropical forests are known to be important carbon stores, but many are subjected to intensive pressures from damming, land use and climate changes. Sedimentary records preserve long‐term archives for understanding how such changes affect the quantity and quality of carbon stores.

Exploring soil erosion in the lake basins of Michoacán, Mexico: From sediment cores to conservation policies

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding soil erosion, its history and links to potential drivers such as land use (particularly agriculture and deforestation), different cultural perspectives and climate change are crucial for the development of effective management and conservation strategies.

Pleistocene habitats for proboscideans from five sites in the Japanese archipelago: Insights from isotopic composition of tooth enamel and dentin collagen

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Megafauna became extinct during the late Quaternary, with climate changes and human activities the two main proposed extinction drivers. Palaeoloxodon naumanni (Naumann's elephant) and Mammuthus primigenius roamed the Japanese archipelago during the Pleistocene.

Restricted cirque glaciers in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland, during the Nahanagan Stadial (Greenland Stadial‐1/Younger Dryas)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Ireland, the Nahanagan Stadial (NS) was characterised by cirque glacier, plateau icefield and mountain ice cap expansion and is named after the cirque glacier type‐site of Lough Nahanagan in the Wicklow Mountains. This period is broadly equivalent to the Younger Dryas Stadial and Greenland Stadial‐1 (GS‐1: ~12.9–11.7 ka).

A two‐dimensional morphospace for cyanobacteria and microalgae: Morphological diversity, evolutionary relatedness, and size constraints

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 115-126, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Body metrics are considered as master traits that regulate physiological, behavioural and life history features of planktic cyanobacteria and microalgae. Although the distribution of their morphological traits reflects the various trade‐offs and strategies needed for survival in pelagic habitats, previous methods for quantifying phytoplankton ...

Repeated surging and rapid retreat of a tidewater glacier in Scotland (Younger Dryas/Greenland Stadial 1)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents evidence of glacier surging in the British landform record. We use new high‐resolution multibeam‐echosounder bathymetry data to map the submarine geomorphology of a former tidewater glacier that drained the Skye Icefield, NW Scotland, during the Younger Dryas Stadial (Greenland Stadial 1) ca. 12.9–11.7 ka.
