La geopedologia como base para zonificar la aptitud forestal en una cuenca del noroeste de la Patagonia Argentina by Maria Cristina Frugoni, Romina González Musso, Gabriel Falbo, Dolores Zapiola

“…De acuerdo a este enfoque, fueron reconocidos tres paisajes: montañas modeladas por la acción glacial, planicie lávica y valle. El relieve consiste principalmente de laderas fuertemente inclinadas y fondos de valle con suelos de drenaje imperfecto. …”

Precession modulates the poleward expansion of atmospheric circulation to the Arctic Ocean by Yi Zhong, Zhengyao Lu, Stefanie Kaboth-Bahr, Jimin Yu, Keiji Horikawa, Mark J. Dekkers, Juan C. Larrasoaña, Peter D. Clift, Michael E. Weber, Flor Vermassen, Sev Kender, Chijun Sun, Hu Yang, Xianfeng Wang, Camilla S. Andresen, Yanguang Liu, Haiwei Zhang, Zhengyang Dai, Lu Niu, Jingyu Zhang, Xuguang Feng, Debo Zhao, Wenyue Xia, Sheng Yang, Hai Li, Qingsong Liu

“…Our reconstruction is based on precipitation-driven sediment input variations in the Subarctic North Pacific (SANP), which reveal a strong precessional cycle in subarctic humidity under the relatively low eccentricity variations that dominated the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. Combined with climate model simulations, we highlight that precession drives meridional shifts in the northern rim of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) and modulates the efficiency of heat and water vapor transfer to the SANP and Arctic regions. …”

Spatiotemporal range dynamics and conservation optimization for endangered medicinal plants in the Himalaya by Fu-Lv Liu, Winnie Wanjiku Mambo, Jie Liu, Guang-Fu Zhu, Raees Khan, Abdullah, Shujaul Mulk Khan, Lu Lu

“…Our results showed that the habitat of most medicinal plants in the Himalaya have expanded their habitat range from the Last Glacial Maximum to the present, with a substantial contraction projected in both future scenarios. …”

Towards quantitative reconstruction of past monsoon precipitation based on tetraether membrane lipids in Chinese loess by J. Guo, J. Guo, M. Ziegler, L. Fuchs, Y. Sun, F. Peterse

“…Combing our new data with existing brGDGT records from other CLP sites reveals a spatial gradient in MAP that is most pronounced during glacials, when the western CLP experiences more arid conditions and receives up to <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 250 mm less precipitation than in the southeast, whereas MAP is <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 850 mm across the CLP during the Holocene optimum. …”
