One Hundred Years of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) 1926–2026: Origins, Facts, and Background of an Eventful History

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On its 100th anniversary in 2026, the German Soil Science Society (DBG) is looking back not only on an eventful history with traditions and impressive achievements but also with painful interruptions and ruptures. One curious fact is that the DBG was initially founded as the national section of the International Soil Science Society (ISSS ...

In search of glacial refuges of the land snail Orcula dolium (Pulmonata, Orculidae)--an integrative approach using DNA sequence and fossil data.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Harboring a large number of endemic species, the Alps and the Western Carpathians are considered as major centers of biodiversity. Nonetheless, the general opinion until the turn of the millennium was that both Central European mountain regions did not ...

Paleogeographic significance of Upper Triassic basinal succession of the Tamar Valley, northern Julian Alps (Slovenia)

Geologica Carpathica, 2015
The Julian Alps (western Slovenia) structurally belong to the eastern Southern Alps. The Upper Triassic succession mostly consists of shallow water platform carbonates of the Dolomia Principale-Dachstein Limestone system and a deep water succession of ...

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Re-introduction and present status of the lynx (<em>Lynx Lynx</em>) in Switzerland

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1998
<strong>Abstract</strong> A lynx recovery programme started in Switzerland in 1970. From 1970-76, at least 14 lynx were translocated from the Carpathian Mountains into the Swiss Alps. Another re-introduction took place in the Jura Mountains,

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Glacial refugia and speciation in a group of wind-pollinated and -dispersed, endemic Alpine species of Helictotrichon (Poaceae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In the Alps phylogeographic studies indicate for small insect-pollinated herbs that climatic fluctuations caused significant population migrations and fragmentations into glacial refugia at the periphery of the Alps.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Neue Nachweise bi- und unisexueller "Populationen" von Megabunus lesserti (Opiliones: Phalangiidae) in den Nordostalpen

Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2005
New data on the sex ratio of 16 populations of the endemic harvestman Megabunus lesserti Schenkel, 1927 in the northeastern Alps confirm the previously assumed pattern of geographic parthenogenesis.

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...
