Geopedology as base information to forest suitability zoning in a catchment of norwestern patagonia, argentina by Maria Cristina Frugoni, Romina González Musso, Gabriel Falbo, Dolores Zapiola

“…The main limitations of the area are the very steep slopes, height and the areas dominated by rock outcrops and detrital covers. Nothofagus antarctica (ñire) shrubs cover part of the suitable areas; because of conservation criteria of these natural communities, these lands were considered not suitable. …”

Nuttalliellidae in Burmese amber: implications for tick evolution by Lidia Chitimia-Dobler, Stephan Handschuh, Jason A. Dunlop, Ronel Pienaar, Ben J. Mans, Ala Tabor

“…The distribution of Nuttalliella likely stretched from Africa over Antarctica and much of Australia, suggesting that extant members of this family may still be found in Australia. …”

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

“…El criterio de conservación de los recursos forestales nativos, en este caso el matorral de Nothofagus antarctica (ñire) significó la exclusión de estas áreas, a pesar de que los factores físicos del sitio presentaban condiciones favorables para la forestación. …”

Preindustrial-to-present-day changes in atmospheric carbon monoxide: agreement and gaps between ice archives and global model reconstructions by X. Faïn, S. Szopa, V. Naïk, P. Martinerie, D. M. Etheridge, D. M. Etheridge, R. H. Rhodes, C. M. Trudinger, C. M. Trudinger, V. V. Petrenko, K. Fourteau, P. Place, P. Place

“…We analyse how historical (1850–2014) [CO] outputs from 16 ACCMIP (Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project) models and 7 AerChemMIP (Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project) models over Greenland and Antarctica are able to capture both absolute values and trends recorded in multi-site ice archives. …”

GOSI9: UK Global Ocean and Sea Ice configurations by C. Guiavarc'h, D. Storkey, A. T. Blaker, E. Blockley, A. Megann, H. Hewitt, M. J. Bell, D. Calvert, D. Copsey, B. Sinha, S. Moreton, P. Mathiot, P. Mathiot, B. An

“…To improve the representation of the Southern Ocean, a scale-aware form of the Gent–McWilliams parameterization and the application of a partial-slip lateral boundary condition on momentum in the Southern Ocean have been added, resulting in a stronger and more realistic Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport and a reduction in the temperature and salinity biases along the shelf of Antarctica. In the Arctic, the representation of sea ice is improved, leading to a reduction in surface temperature and salinity biases. …”
