Analysis of snow reclamation efficiency of land

Мелиорация и гидротехника
Purpose: to develop a new criterion for assessing the thermal efficiency of snow reclamation using snow cover compaction and to assess the winter reclamation efficiency to increase the moisture capacity of snow cover. Materials and methods.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

Environmental dynamics and timing of the late Eemian interglacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial at Lichtenberg, Germany: implications for the Oerel and Glinde interstadials

Boreas, EarlyView.
The terrestrial sediment archives of northern Germany provide important insights into Late Pleistocene climate variability, but continuous and well‐dated records remain rare. In particular, the age and stratigraphic position of the Oerel and Glinde interstadials within the Early Weichselian to pleniglacial transition remain poorly constrained.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Tracing recent large herbivore influence on soil carbon in permafrost and seasonally frozen Arctic ground using lipid biomarkers: a pilot study

Arctic Science
This study investigates the impact of large herbivores on soil organic matter (OM) stability in Arctic permafrost and seasonally frozen ground ecosystems, focusing on the potential preservation effect of grazing. Soil samples were collected from Siberian

Spatial and Temporal Vegetation and Peat Depth Patterns in Alpine, Subalpine and Montane Peatlands of South‐Eastern Australia

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2027.
ABSTRACT Alpine, subalpine and montane peatlands provide important ecosystem services, including carbon storage, water regulation and habitat provision, and are threatened by a range of disturbance and degradation processes that impact these services.

Short‐Term Weather Variability Alters Plant Carbon Balance in Arctic Tundra Species

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
With weather variability increasing due to climate change, we examined its effects on three species of Arctic plants. Short‐term variability in temperature increases average dark respiration rate while variability in light decreases average photosynthetic rate.

Resurvey of Boreal Earthworm Communities in Southern and Northern Finland

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Boreal forests account for 11.5% of the Earth's land area, and, unlike oceanic and mediterranean forests, their cold winters typically represent the harshest season for earthworms. In Fennoscandia, these forests are subject to substantial global changes, notably climate change and land use intensification, which might impact earthworm populations.
