Climate change impacts on the Alpine ecosystem: an overview with focus on the soil

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2015
The Alpine ecosystem is very sensitive to climatic changes, which have an influence on glaciers, snow, vegetation and soils. The aim of this review is to illustrate the effects of global change on the Alpine soil ecosystem, which is an optimal marker to ...

Aeolian Dust Provenance in Central East Antarctica During the Holocene: Environmental Constraints From Single‐Grain Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
We analyzed the single‐grain mineralogical composition of aeolian dust transported to central East Antarctica for provenance purposes. Comparison with data from the last glacial period shows for the first time disappearance of carbonates during the ...

Late Quaternary glacial and periglacial environments, Snake Range, Nevada

open access: yes, 2003
Limited research has been conducted on the paleoclimatic significance of glacial and periglacial features in the Great Basin. Glacial features in the range were first recognized and described by early explorers (Gilbert, 1875; Simpson; 1876 and Russell ...

Geomorphological indicators of late Quaternary periglacial environment in the Republic of San Marino

open access: yes, 2009
The territory of the Republic of San Marino (central-northern Apennines), despite its limited area, has a peculiar geological and morphostructural setting which favoured the preservation of some geomorphologic indicators of periglacial processes active ...

Late Neoproterozoic periglacial aeolian sand sheet, Stuart Shelf, South Australia

open access: yes, 1998
The late Neoproterozoic (ca 600 Ma) Whyalla Sandstone covers 25 000 km2 in outcrop and subcrop on the Stuart Shelf, South Australia, and is coeval with the Marinoan glaciogenic succession in the adjacent Adelaide Fold Belt. The flat‐lying formation is up
