NEW TRENDS IN CONSUMPTION ON THE COFFEE MARKET

“…In order to meet these trends, producers and sellers of coffee will also want to gain an influence on the choices and preferences of coffee consumers by supporting and developing such product trends as: craft coffee time, the ice age is coming, ready to drink coffee, co-branding to dial up indulgence, convenient formats go premium, the rise of super coffee or the world of smart vending machines. …”

Investigating the formation and evolution of plant diversity patterns in the Qiangtang Plateau based on phylofloristics approach by Xiaoping Li, Yun Han, Lei Miao, Hao Xu, Jingya Yu, Shuang Han, Faqi Zhang

“…Furthermore, using fossil data, we deduced that the emergence of seed plant families in this region dates back to the Cretaceous period (145.00 Ma), with a significant acceleration in evolutionary rates observed since the onset of the Quaternary Ice Age (2.00 Ma). These findings underscore the pivotal role of the uplift of the Qiangtang Plateau and the climatic shifts during the Quaternary Ice Age as primary drivers shaping the region's contemporary distribution patterns of alpine plants.…”

Trajectoires paysagères et crises morphosédimentaires de cônes torrentiels dans la vallée de la Maurienne (Savoie) depuis la fin du Petit Âge glaciaire by Thérèse Hugerot, Laurent Astrade, Christophe Gauchon

“…The use of numerous cadastral, cartographic, photographic and technical archives from between the 18th and 20th centuries has enabled the creation of a geohistorical information system capable of describing and characterising the landscape trajectories of these four cones since the Little Ice Age. The frequency of torrential activity and morphosedimentary crises, the industrialisation of the valley and its rural decline, major road, rail and hydroelectric developments, and the dynamics of urbanisation (and post-war reconstruction) are all factors to be taken into account in reconstructing these unique trajectories. …”

A time-varying index for agricultural suitability across Europe from 1500–2000 by Alexander Lehner, Dylan Philippe

“…Our index captures not just long-term trends, such as the Little Ice Age, but also short-term climatic shocks. It will empower researchers to explore the interplay between climatic fluctuations and Europe’s agricultural landscape, analyze human responses at a local and regional scale, and foster a deeper understanding of the region’s historical dynamics.…”

Recurring cycles of ice and vegetation on Baffin Island, Nunavut by Martha K. Raynolds, Helga Bültmann, Shawnee A. Kasanke, Gifford Miller, Jonathan H. Raberg

“…The most recent retreat of glaciers on Baffin Island, Nunavut, has been since the Little Ice Age, due to anthropogenic warming. Retreating cold-based ice often uncovers ancient vegetation. …”

Late Pennsylvanian vegetation dynamics of the Donets Basin, Ukraine by Nataliya Boyarina

“…The dynamics of the Late Pennsylvanian vegetation cover of the Donets Basin is represented by a succession of formations of new plant communities (phytocoenogenesis) of a wetland forest and woodland biome and a seasonally dry woodland biome because of the changing landscape and climate conditions resulting from the glacio-eustatic changes during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. The Late Pennsylvanian vegetation consisted of plant communities of wetland marattialean fern-dominated forests on coastal lowlands and wetland lycopsid-fern forests on deltaic plains in the Kasimovian as well as wetland marattialean fern-dominated forests with new dominants on coastal lowlands and wetland lycopsid-pteridosperm-calamitalean-fern forests with new dominants on deltaic plains in the early Gzhelian that were formed according to the evolutionary progressive model of phytocoenogenesis under conditions of an expansion of coastal lowlands and deltaic plains inthe long-term period of a relatively stable higher sea level with frequent sea level fluctuations during the late Kasimovian–early-mid-Gzhelian interglacial interval. …”

Greening of Svalbard in the twentieth century driven by sea ice loss and glaciers retreat by Gianmarco Ingrosso, Chiara Ceccarelli, Federico Giglio, Patrizia Giordano, Jens Hefter, Leonardo Langone, Stefano Miserocchi, Gesine Mollenhauer, Alessio Nogarotto, Mathia Sabino, Tommaso Tesi

“…Here, we measured plant-derived biomarkers from an Arctic fjord sediment core as proxies for reconstructing past changes in tundra vegetation during the transition from the Little Ice Age to modern warming. Our findings revealed a rapid expansion of the tundra since the beginning of the twentieth century, largely coinciding with the decline of summer sea ice extent and glacier retreat. …”

Runoff responses to Atlantic multidecadal and Pacific decadal oscillations in China: Insights from the last millennium simulations by Yangyi Liu, Jie Chen, Lihua Xiong, Chong-Yu Xu

“…Taking Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and Little Ice Age (LIA) as study periods and focusing on summer runoff in China, this study aims to investigate 1) the major time scales at which AMO/PDO affects runoff, and 2) the individual and coupled effects of AMO and PDO on runoff by using last millennium climate model simulations. …”

Reconstruction of climatic events from the 16th century in Transylvania: interdisciplinary analysis based on historical sources by Ovidiu Răzvan Gaceu, Tudor Caciora, Ștefan Baias, Cezar Morar, Mihai Dudaș, Marius Stupariu, Maria Maxim

“…IntroductionUnderstanding past climate variability is essential for interpreting current and future climate trends, particularly during defining climate periods for the past two millennia, such as the Little Ice Age, which had significant socio-economic impacts.MethodsThe present study uses an interdisciplinary approach, analyzing written documents such as chronicles, diaries, and official records to extract data related to climate events in the 16th century in Transylvania (on the current territory of Romania). …”
