The succession reveals alternating heterolithic beds of sandy siltstones to very fine- to fine-grained sandstones, suggestive of a deltaic depositional setting influenced by fluctuating energy conditions. The dominance of spreite structures, such as Paradictyodora antarctica and Euflabella, suggests the prevalence of a colonization window for deposit- or detritus-feeding activity. Notably, the prevalence of Euflabella towards the upper levels of the succession, in more proximal and impacted depositional setting, suggests an adaptive strategy for coping with varying food resources, corroborating its role as a trophic generalist. Additionally, the absence of distinct shifts between fully marine and stressed ichnofauna challenges a clear assignation to the Phycosiphon or Rosselia ichnofacies, although in vertical succession the Euflabella dominance in upper levels is related to a lower diverse ichnoassemblage than Paradictyodora in lower levels, suggesting some freshwater impact in the top. The occurrence of horizontal and vertical sessile deposit feeding structures would align with the Rosselia ichnofacies definition, but the presence of spreite burrows and high ichnodisparity better fits into the Cruziana ichnofacies. These spreite-dominated ichonoassemblages are here attributed to Cruziana ichnofacies.","PeriodicalId":7776,"journal":{"name":"Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias","volume":"96 suppl 2","pages":"e20240627"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to analyze the properties of adobe bricks reinforced with varying weight fractions of piassava fiber. The fibers were characterized for their chemical and physical characteristics, while the sand and clay were characterized for granulometry, XRD patterns, and EDX. Initial bricks were prepared with a constant piassava fiber weight fraction of 3% and varying sand:clay weight ratios. The mechanical properties of the adobe bricks were evaluated, and subsequent investigations involved variable fiber weight fractions of 0.5%, 1%, and 3%. Characterization included compressive characterization, apparent density, three-point bending, resistance to water erosion, and cracking behavior. The results showed that the physical and chemical characteristics of the fibers were consistent with the existing literature. The adobe bricks exhibited a range of apparent density values and compressive strength, with the S40C60P3 brick demonstrating higher strength and reduced crack visibility. The bricks with 3% fiber content outperformed others in terms of bending strength and displacement before fracture. Erosion tests revealed that higher fiber contents resulted in lower levels of mass loss and erosion depth. These findings highlight the potential of piassava fiber incorporation in adobe bricks for enhancing their properties.","PeriodicalId":7776,"journal":{"name":"Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias","volume":"96 suppl 3","pages":"e20240210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present research aimed to evaluate survival and growing capacity of Sanionia uncinata and Colobanthus quitensis on Martian (MGS-1) and Lunar (LMS-1) regolith simulants, under terrestrial conditions. The survival responses of both species on the simulators and the original sampling site of Antarctic soil were observed during 15 days, in laboratory conditions at 'Comandante Ferraz' Station. Based on physiological parameters changes under the three soil conditions tested, our results suggest that Martian soil can be too harsh for plant growth, showing expressive decay, especially for C. quitensis. While lunar soil might provide more favorable conditions, with less observed changes, similarly to how they would in Antarctic soil from their natural habitat.

This study aimed to investigate whether topography controls the distribution of salt-affected soils on Seymour Island, particularly with reference to the Lopez de Bertodano Formation. Chemical and physical results from 45 soil profiles were used, where morphometric variables were extracted. Descriptive statistical analysis, extraction of morphometric variables, cluster analysis and principal component analysis were carried out in this database. The separation of soils associated with the López de Bertodano Formation into two groups is explained by topographic atributes, and not by soil properties. Hence, the salts in soils have a geogenic origin, and despite differences in geological units, the uniform mineralogical composition of all Lopez de Bertodano Formation results in the widespread accumulation of salts in soils, influenced by the saline parent material and the semi-desert climate. Despite the lack of topographic control in the distribution of saline soils as a whole, geomorphology play a distinct role in the formation of secondary saline features, such as crusts, efflorescences, and columnar structures, or in salt composition of salts present in the soils.","PeriodicalId":7776,"journal":{"name":"Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias","volume":"96 suppl 2","pages":"e20240584"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the overall composition of these communities, vertical samples were collected at various depths using a Multinet at oceanographic stations in the Antarctic Peninsula during the XXXV OPERANTAR expedition in summer 2017. Abiotic data (temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-a) were collected using a CTD and a fluoremeter. Organisms were identified to a higher level, with Chaetognatha and Euphausiacea identified to species whenever possible. Copepoda were the most abundant (73.4%), with Calanoida present in all samples and more abundant at 300m. Salpidae ranked as the second most abundant taxon (16.6%) up to 100m. Three species of Chaetognatha were identified, with Eukrohnia hamata being the most abundant, particularly at 300m. Two species of Euphausiacea were found, Euphausia superba and Thysanoesa macrura, with low abundances. Abiotic parameters showed significant relationships with the taxa. The region exhibits complex oceanography associated with zooplankton communities. The recorded data align with the zooplankton characterization of this region, uncovering a prevalence of Copepoda and surface abundant Salpidae, along with Chaetognatha (particulary E. hamata) and Euphausiacea.","PeriodicalId":7776,"journal":{"name":"Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias","volume":"96 suppl 2","pages":"e20240144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
