No difference in nitrate leaching between digestates and untreated cattle slurry over eight years of organic arable farmingNARA Subscribed
Organic fertilizers often contribute to nitrate (NO 3 − ) leaching and impair drinking water quality, because the mineralization of applied organic nitrogen (N) is often asynchronous with crop N uptake. Crop yield, crop N uptake, seepage water and NO 3 − leaching were investigated in a lysimeter facility (Zurich, Switzerland) under temperate climate conditions during two consecutive four-year organically managed crop rotations...
Three of the most recent rhyolite eruptions in Europe occurred approximately 800 years ago on the island of Lipari, Aeolian Islands, Sicily. These eruptions produced ash and lava deposits that share many of the physical and chemical traits known to exist in hybrid explosive-effusive silicic systems like the Mono Craters and Medicine Lake (USA), in addition to the recently active rhyolite volcanoes Chaitén (2008) and Cordón Cau...
Red slip pottery represents one of the most technologically and morphologically distinctive ceramic traditions of the South Caucasus. Its appearance and initial phase of development, known as Urartian Red Burnished Ware, are closely linked with the existence of the Urartian Kingdom during the Middle Iron Age. This study examines patterns of production and distribution of red slip pottery in the northeastern provinces of the Ur...
Community biocultural mapping reveals historical occupation and enables defense of African rainforestsNARA Subscribed
Global conservation maps often overlook community lands, impacting decision-making and reducing local agency. We focus on the high-profile and regionally important case of Massaha’s ancestral territory (Ibola Dja Bana Ba Massaha). In Gabon, the forest is largely gazetted into logging concessions and described as an Eden-like wilderness despite long-term human presence. We compare Massaha’s biocultural maps to global, colonial,...
Continental‐Scale Biodiversity Predictions Are Influenced by Climatic Variability and Extreme WeatherNARA Subscribed
Increasingly variable and extreme weather can push organisms beyond their physiological thermal or hydric tolerances and limit where they can persist, affecting their geographic distributions and biodiversity patterns. For example, organisms often live near their physiological limits at range edges and may be unable to persist in these regions under variable and extreme conditions. However, it remains unclear how climatic vari...
While coral bleaching is a well‐known consequence of marine heatwaves, rapid coral mortality via tissue disintegration is an understudied threat; one that precludes any chance of recovery. We show that tissue disintegration can occur within hours to days of acute heat stress, marking a critical survival threshold. Micro‐scale oxygen measurements indicate rapid deoxygenation of coral tissue immediately preceding tissue disinteg...
Heterospecific social behavior in primates: insights into the evolutionary roots of pet-keepingNARA Subscribed
Primate interspecific interactions with both other primates and non-primate species range from predator–prey dynamics to affiliative behaviors such as grooming, play, and carrying. While many primates participate in interspecific associations or commensal relationships, to our knowledge interspecific social interactions have never been systematically synthesized. Here, we present the first comprehensive review of such interact...
Decade-scale recovery of the Eyjafjallajökull ice cap, Iceland, after the 2010 summit eruptionNARA Subscribed
Several eruptions at glaciated volcanoes have been witnessed during the last two centuries. However, most studies have focused on understanding the volcanic products or the hazard implications. Less attention has been put into analyzing the long-term effects on the glaciers. The 2010 summit eruption of Eyjafjallajökull (Iceland) provides an excellent opportunity to study such impacts by investigating how individual areas of th...
