The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and
