An Early Oligocene Fossil Lagerstätten from the Lacustrine Deposits of the Luberon UNESCO Global Geopark by Pauline Coster, Stephane Legal

“…The fossils include plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals from ancient lacustrine-terrestrial ecosystems of the early Oligocene. The fossil birds are especially important, including one of the most complete specimens of trogons, an exceptionally preserved almost complete modern-type hummingbird, and one of the earliest fossil passerine birds. …”

Societal changes in Ancient Greece impacted terrestrial and marine environments by Andreas Koutsodendris, Joseph Maran, Ulrich Kotthoff, Jörg Lippold, Maria Knipping, Oliver Friedrich, Axel Gerdes, Stefanie Kaboth-Bahr, André Bahr, Hartmut Schulz, Dimitris Sakellariou, Jörg Pross

“…We show that the impact of agropastoral societies on terrestrial ecosystems was locally confined during the Bronze and Iron Ages (5200–2750 years ago), although we record an onset of Pb pollution already at 5200 cal. years BP and thus about 1200 years earlier than previous archeological evidence. …”

Forest Ecosystem Carbon Measurement Methods and Future Directions by YUAN Yuna, JIANG Xuebing

“…The forest ecosystem is a crucial component of terrestrial ecosystems,possessing the largest carbon reservoir on the Earth's surface.The fluctuations in its carbon stocks have a profound impact on the global carbon cycle.In the current context of a growing greenhouse effect and the rising occurrence of extreme climates,accurately estimating carbon stocks in the forest ecosystem and strengthening the construction monitoring system for its carbon stocks holds great significance for gaining an in-depth understanding of the global carbon cycle and predicting global climate change.Oriented toward strengthening the carbon sink function of forest ecosystems and achieving the dual carbon target, this paper systematically explained the mechanism of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems.It analyzed and compared several mainstream methods of forest carbon estimation, proposing feasible strategies for building a forest carbon stock monitoring system in China.The aim is to provide a theoretical reference for the stable improvement of China's forest ecosystem carbon stock monitoring capacity and to provide scientific support for achieving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality in a timely manner.…”

Determination of the Proportion of Total Soil Extracellular Acid Phosphomonoesterase (E.C. 3.1.3.2) Activity Represented by Roots in the Soil of Different Forest Ecosystems by Klement Rejsek, Valerie Vranova, Pavel Formanek

“…Separation of root-derived EAPM from soil provides a better understanding of its role in P-cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The method presented in this work is a first step towards the separation of root- and microbe-derived EAPM in soils, which are thought to possess different kinetic properties and different sensitivity to environmental change.…”

Significant greening in the western Tibetan Plateau and surroundings occurred after the 1970s by Renhui Huang, Chunmei Ma, Wangbin Zhang, Xiaoqian Liu, Shuangye Wu, Hongxi Pang, Shugui Hou

“…Abstract Vegetation greening on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has profoundly changed the connection between terrestrial ecosystems and regional carbon, water, and energy cycling, but existing research on vegetation greenness can only be traced back to the 1980s, because of the scarcity of long-term remote sensing data. …”
