Sedimentary conditions drive modern pyrite burial flux to exceed oxidation [0.03%]
沉积条件使得现代黄铁矿的埋藏通量超过氧化通量
Cornelia Mertens,Sarah Paradis,Jordon D Hemingway

Pyrite (iron sulfide) formation and burial in sediments decreases atmospheric CO2 and increases O2 levels. However, the environmental and sedimentological conditions that regulate pyrite burial remain poorly constrained. Here we investigate...
Late Miocene Arctic warmth and terrestrial climate recorded by North Greenland speleothems [0.03%]
北极晚中新世的温暖和陆地气候记录——来自北格陵兰的石笋证据

The sensitivity of terrestrial Arctic climate during the Late Miocene remains poorly understood, despite this interval marking the transition towards a cooler, more variable global climate and the prelude to Northern Hemisphere glaciation. ...

Calcium carbonate precipitation in ageing ocean crust sequesters carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater through seafloor weathering reactions, influencing atmospheric CO2 concentrations on million-year timescales. However, this crustal carbon...
Dramatic decline of Sargassum in the north Sargasso Sea since 2015 [0.03%]
2015年以来北大西洋马尾藻海的马尾藻数量急剧下降
Yingjun Zhang,Brian B Barnes,Deborah S Goodwin et al.
Yingjun Zhang et al.
The Sargasso Sea, at the centre of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, draws its name from the endemic floating brown macroalgae, Sargassum, which provides shelter and habitat for life in the pelagic zone. In 2011, the Sargassum footprint ...
Presence of continental slivers in oceanic transform faults determined by rift inheritance [0.03%]
大陆碎片在洋中脊转换断层中的存在性由裂谷继承性决定

The theory of plate tectonics describes how continents are separated from each other by lateral movement that is accommodated by transform faults connecting mid-ocean ridge sections, which leaves inactive fracture zones on the ocean floor. ...

Understanding the recent history of Thwaites Glacier, and the processes controlling its ongoing retreat, is key to projecting Antarctic contributions to future sea-level rise. Of particular concern is how the glacier grounding zone might ev...
Minor contribution of ammonia oxidizers to inorganic carbon fixation in the ocean [0.03%]
海洋中氨氧化剂固碳作用的贡献较小
Barbara Bayer,Katharina Kitzinger,Nicola L Paul et al.
Barbara Bayer et al.
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea are the most abundant chemolithoautotrophs in the ocean and are assumed to dominate carbon fixation below the sunlit surface layer. However, the supply of reduced nitrogen delivered from the surface in sinking part...
Geodynamics of a global plate reorganization from topological data analysis [0.03%]
基于拓扑数据分析的全球板块重组地球动力学研究
Alexandre Janin,Nicolas Coltice,Nicolas Chamot-Rooke et al.
Alexandre Janin et al.
Earth's lithosphere is fragmented into tectonic plates that move relative to each other and the mantle, following a dynamic equilibrium that evolves over time. Sporadically, abrupt kinematic changes occur that typically lead to regional-sca...
Major excursions in sulfur isotopes linked to permafrost change in Eurasia during the last 50,000 years [0.03%]
过去五万年欧亚大陆硫同位素变化与永久冻土带变动的关系
Rhiannon E Stevens,Hazel Reade,Kerry L Sayle et al.
Rhiannon E Stevens et al.
We identify a major sulfur isotope excursion in Eurasian faunal bone collagen from the last 50,000 years, here termed the Late Pleniglacial Sulfur Excursion. Our analysis suggests this is linked to changing permafrost conditions, presenting...
Widespread underestimation of rain-induced soil carbon emissions from global drylands [0.03%]
全球干地区土壤碳排放量或被普遍低估
Ngoc B Nguyen,Mirco Migliavacca,Maoya Bassiouni et al.
Ngoc B Nguyen et al.
Dryland carbon fluxes, particularly those driven by ecosystem respiration, are highly sensitive to water availability and rain pulses. However, the magnitude of rain-induced carbon emissions remains unclear globally. Here we quantify the im...
