Investigating the loess–palaeosol sequence of Bahlingen-Schönenberg (Kaiserstuhl), southwestern Germany, using a multi-methodological approach [PDF]

Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2022
Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPSs) are key archives for the reconstruction of Quaternary environmental conditions, but there is a lack of investigated records from the southern Upper Rhine Graben (southwestern Germany).

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Mineral dust and pedogenesis in the alpine critical zone [PDF]

SOIL
The influence of mineral dust deposition on soil formation in the mountain critical zone was evaluated at six sites in southwestern North America. Passive samplers collected dust for 2 years, and representative soil and rock were gathered in the vicinity

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4319-4331, May 2026.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Genesis and Classification of Soils Containing Carbonate on the Apodi Plateau, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2016
Information is scarce on the genesis and classification of soils derived from calcareous rocks in the Northeastern region of Brazil. This study describes the morphological, physical, chemical, mineralogical, and micromorphological properties of four soil

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2583-2596, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

MICROMORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A TERRA ROSSA SOIL UNDER OLIVE CROP; PEDOGENESIS AND PEDOTURBATION

EQA, 2011
Permanent tree crops can deeply modify the soil features produced by the pedogenesis processes. Clear microstructural differences were observed in two soil profiles sampled in an olive grove near Sassari (Sardinia, Italy), one under the canopy and one ...

Influence of Geomorphic Disturbance on Phenotypic Species Plasticity and Vegetation Cover in High‐Elevated Belts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.
