Unravelling upbuilding pedogenesis in tephra and loess sequences in New Zealand using tephrochronology [PDF]
, 2010 The genesis of soils developed in either tephra or loess on stable sites differs markedly from that of soils developed on rock because classical topdown processes operate in conjuction with geological processes whereby material is added to the land ...

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland
Boreas, EarlyView.The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Reconstructing the Last 71 ka Paleoclimate in Northeast China by Integrating Typical Loess Sections
QuaternaryLong-term continuous deposits and well-preserved thick loess sections are natural archives for the reconstruction of global climate change. However, the loess sections are often discontinuous owing to soil erosions and accumulations.

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.

Resoiling on anthropogenically disturbed surfaces in the southern taiga subzone [PDF]
, 2011 Based on investigating dated anthropogenic structures, we present the results derived from studying the development features of soddy podzolic soils over the course of the first 600 years from the zero time of soil formation.
