RADIOCARBON DATING OF A VERY LARGE AFRICAN BAOBAB FROM LIMPOPO, SOUTH AFRICA: INVESTIGATION OF THE SAGOLE BIG TREE

open access: yesStudia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Chemia, 2017
The article reports the AMS (accelerator mass spectrometry) radiocarbon dating results of Sagole Big tree, a giant African baobab from Limpopo, South Africa. Several wood samples were collected from the walls of its inner cavity and dated by radiocarbon.

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.

Early overcounting in otoliths: a case study of age and growth for gindai (Pristipomoides zonatus) using bomb 14C dating

open access: yesFisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021
Gindai (Pristipomoides zonatus) is one of six snappers in a management complex called the Deep 7 of the Hawaiian Islands. Little is known about its life history and a preliminary analysis of otolith thin sections

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Cosmogenic radiocarbon production and glacial cycles control marine radiocarbon archive variations

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Marine radiocarbon archives are depleted relative to the atmosphere, which is commonly expressed as the marine radiocarbon reservoir age. Here we apply an Earth system model of intermediate complexity equipped with radiocarbon to simulate marine ...

Errors in the radiocarbon dating of deposits in Finland from the time of deglaciation [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1974
Some radiocarbon dates of sediments from the area of the Salpausselkä moraines, and north of them in the area deglaciated after c. 10200 B.P., are too old and at variance with a number of radiocarbon dates for the regional pollen assemblage zones ...

Small‐Scale Topographic Variability Shapes Molecular Diversity of Organic Matter in Coastal Dune Soils

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Topography shapes ecosystem controls, driving microclimate, hydrology, and vegetation, which, in turn, influence topsoil traits and DOM composition in coastal dune soils. Distinct molecular patterns emerge across north‐facing and south‐facing slopes and dune valleys.

A source-weighted Benthic minus Planktonic radiocarbon method for estimating pure ocean water age

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science
This paper introduces the Benthic minus-weighted-Planktonic (BwP) age method to estimate the pure water age of the deep ocean. It combines radiocarbon data with water mass composition evolution in an ocean model under realistic surface forcings ...

Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.
