For this purpose, a geomorphological analysis was carried out through the use of satellite images, topographic maps and field work. In this study, natural and anthropogenic processes are addressed in an integrative manner, considering both temporal and spatial scales. The geomorphic characteristics show the preponderance of coastal and aeolian processes over other exogenous processes. The emergence of two littoral barriers, the Samborombón Barrier (SB) and the Easter Sandy Barrier (ESB), has significantly influenced regional geomorphology, showing evidence of Quaternary sea-level fluctuations. Over time, human settlements were strategically located on elevated landforms of the Pampean plain, rich in resources. Since the late 19th century, human activity has rapidly transformed the landscape, especially altering the hydric system, marshes, beaches, dunes and littoral ridges. These processes also generated human-created landforms, such as channels, quarries, alluvial fans, among others.

The consistently low rBC deposition at these sites suggests that Patagonian emissions did not contribute to the observed late 13<sup>th</sup> century rBC increases in ice cores from the Antarctic Peninsula.

This Viewpoint adds important insight to the ongoing debate by positing that (i) deliberations on the Anthropocene’s definition should not be confined to geological and historical viewpoints and must include ecological insights, and (ii) there is widespread evidence of anthropogenic reconfiguration of the planetary biosphere which translates to an accelerating sixth mass extinction as well as a conspicuous rise in the Human Appropriation of Net Primary Productivity (HANPP) at an unprecedented rate during the past few decades. When considered together with rapid anthropogenic climate change, these trends mark a major departure from previous trends on the geologic timescale, and they clearly show that the planetary biosphere has recently undergone a sudden and abrupt shift into a novel state, which cannot be adequately described by a temporally diffuse, gradual event; and must be conceptualized as a <em>rupture</em>—a geologically sudden major departure from prevalent trends; which in turn justifies the conceptualization of the Anthropocene as a separate chronostratigraphic unit. Understanding the catastrophic nature of the recent anthropogenic impact on the planetary biosphere is crucial for interpreting the Anthropocene and geologists must be cautious not to dilute its magnitude.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56021,"journal":{"name":"Anthropocene","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100454"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142560601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These pollutants also have an important genotoxic activity, contributing to genomic instability and other related consequences. In summary, disturbances in the immune system can favor infection and the spread of pathogens, and changes in metabolism and genotoxic effects triggered by pollutants in multiple body systems can reduce fitness, harming the species’ survival in natural environments.
