The high-resolution palynological study of the varved sediments of Lake Montcortes has provided a unique record of the regional vegetation shifts over the last 3000 years and of the natural and anthropogenic drivers of ecological change, unparalleled in the Mediterranean.
The environmental setting within the Central Sahara was subject to considerable changes during Late Quaternary, mainly driven by major global climate variations, although human impact increased constantly since Early Holocene.
«Els animals se n'han anat, però ell els conserva la memòria, atura la decadència dels ossos i de la closca, perquè els que vinguin després puguin aturar-s'hi al costat i veure-hi la imatge del propi temps.
Early Continent Evolution of the North China Craton discusses the tectono-thermal regimes of the early continental crust in the North China Craton (NCC) from the Hadean to the early Paleoproterozoic, reconstructing the evolutional framework, and facilitating comprehensive understanding of the early continent evolution of the NCC.
