Our analysis reveals that arc plutonic amphibole records systematically colder conditions and more felsic equilibrium melts than their volcanic equivalents, for a given whole-rock composition. We find that these discrepancies cannot be explained by melt extraction alone, and instead reflect low-temperature reequilibration during protracted residence at near-solidus temperatures after emplacement.

While the impacts of pandemic-associated plastic waste on multiple environmental matrices (e.g., water and soil) have been well documented, its effects on MPs in atmospheric fine particles (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed the MPs in ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> collected from urban Xi'an before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic in both summer and winter. Mean MP concentrations during and after the pandemic were three times higher than prepandemic levels, irrespective of the season. Transparent and white polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate fibers dominated during and after the pandemic, while prepandemic MPs were more diverse in polymer types and colors. These results indicate a strong impact of pandemic-associated waste, especially discarded face masks, on the abundance and characteristics of MPs in ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub>. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between MPs and ambient ozone, suggesting the potential for ozone to degrade plastics and release MPs into the air. Multiple-path particle dosimetry calculations revealed that MPs primarily deposit in the extrathoracic region of people across all age groups. However, teenagers and younger individuals showed increased susceptibility to deposition in tracheobronchial and pulmonary regions. Based on the estimated daily dose, inhalation of MPs from ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> is proposed to be a significant exposure pathway for humans.

Here we use a time series collected in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea (BOUSSOLE site) to extract photophysiological parameters of phytoplankton using the Sun‐induced fluorescence and as well as with an active chlorophyll fluorometer. The daily resolved patterns are consistent with photoacclimation and photoadaptation processes and reflect seasonal variations of the mixed‐layer average irradiance. We also show that fluorescence yields derived from satellite measurements (MODIS) at the same location are not correlated to these patterns, confirming the limited influence of photoacclimation and photoadaptation on the satellite‐derived chlorophyll fluorescence yield near solar noon.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fuelwood supply areas were characterised by <em>Quercus cerris</em> forest, in the past much larger and extended than Mediterranean evergreen forest. The collection of fuelwood was based on the traditional method of coppice woodland management, including the release of decade-year-old standard trees for the production of larger timber assortment, useful for building activities (testified by the numerous post-holes). The silvicultural system, known as compound coppice, produced a forest landscape characterised by multi-storied stands ensuring production of fruit and spreading of acorns for feeding pigs. Changes in the forest ecosystem were particularly detectable from mid-10th century AD, when accessory pioneer woody species, resilient to cut clearance, spread. It was the Ottonian period of activities in sequence aimed at radically changing the site of Vetricella along with land use in the Pecora river valley. The resulting forest land cover management, depending on the political strategies adopted by Medieval authorities, marked the progression of a cultural landscape still characterizing central Tyrrhenian Italy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49644,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary International","volume":"723 ","pages":"Article 109704"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We address this issue via a high-resolution paleoenvironmental analysis of a ∼1305 m thick terrestrial succession from the Asian interior (Gonjo Basin, Southeast Tibet). Cyclostratigraphic analysis of element abundance data, combined with a published magnetostratigraphy, allows us to establish an astronomical timescale spanning the latest Cretaceous to early Paleocene (∼69.4 Ma to ∼58.5 Ma) and investigate climatic variations at an orbital time-scale. We show that the paleoenvironment of the Gonjo Basin underwent two key transitions, with a shift from braided river conditions to floodplain-dominated conditions at ∼68.8 Ma, followed by a return to braided river conditions with likely high seasonality at ∼63.5 Ma. Eccentricity and obliquity forcing exerted a strong control on the regional hydrological cycle. We show that the relative strength of obliquity was likely amplified compared to coeval marine records. Obliquity may have modulated meridional heat and moisture transport into the Asian interior, which, combined with feedbacks from quasi-stable carbon reservoirs, mediated hydroclimate.

However, these advancements necessitate meaningful and standardized quality assessments and comparisons against a suitable set of observational variables using appropriate metrics, a requirement currently lacking within GRM communities. This study proposes implementing a benchmark system designed to facilitate the assessment of river models and enable comparisons against established benchmarks. The benchmark system incorporates satellite remote sensing data complementing in situ data, including water surface elevation and inundation extent information, with necessary preprocessing. Consequently, this evaluation system encompasses a larger geographical area than traditional methods relying solely on in-situ river discharge measurements for GRMs. A set of evaluation and comparison metrics has been developed, including a quantile-based comparison metric that allows for a comprehensive analysis of multiple simulation outputs. The test application of this benchmark system to a global river model (CaMa-Flood), utilizing diverse runoff inputs, illustrates that incorporating bias-corrected runoff data leads to improved model performance across various observational variables and performance metrics. The current iteration of the benchmark system is suitable for global-scale assessments and can effectively evaluate the impact of model development and facilitate intercomparisons among different models.
