Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The history of Nazi German extermination camps has, until recently, relied primarily on eyewitness testimony. Very few official documents detailing the facilities survived the war due to the special operation ‘Sonderaktion 1005’, dedicated to hiding their existence and extent.

Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.

Sensitivity and clay mineralogy of weathered tephra-derived soil materials in the Tauranga region [PDF]
, 2009 Soil sensitivity is defined as the ratio of peak to remoulded shear strength. Problem soil materials are those that show large strength losses on disruption, resulting in catastrophic failure, liquefaction and long run-out distances.

Biological 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.

Tracks of travel: unveiling tire particle concentrations in Swiss cantonal road soils
Microplastics and NanoplasticsTire wear particles (TWP) originating from tire abrasion on roads are a major source of microplastics to the environment. Together with associated pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and trace metals, TWP are emitted to roadside soils in the

Introduction to the landscapes and soils of the Hamilton Basin [PDF]
, 2010 The Hamilton Basin area is characterised by four main landscape units or landforms as depicted in the block diagrams below (McCraw, 1967, 2002; Bruce, 1979; Selby and Lowe, 1992), and these provide a soil-landscape model to predict the soil ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C
