WINTER-SPRING PRECIPITATION AS THE PRINCIPAL CONTROL ON PREDOMINANCE OF C3 PLANTS IN CENTRAL ASIA OVER THE PAST 1.77 MYR: EVIDENCE FROM δ13C OF LOESS ORGANIC MATTER IN TAJIKISTAN

Yang S.; Ding Z. (2006)

Although changes in atmospheric CO2 levels are thought to be the major factor driving long-term C3/C4 vegetation evolution, recent studies tend to emphasize the effect of regional climate conditions on C3/C4 variations. ...
CLIMATIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS ON THE VARIATION OF C3 AND C4 PLANT ABUNDANCES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA FOR THE PAST 62,000 YEARS

Lake Tulane provides one of the few continental sediment records beyond the late glacial period (~ 15,000 cal years B.P.) for eastern North America. Its continuous, organic-rich sediment has yielded pollen assemblages that ...
A LONG-BODIED LIZARD FROM THE LOWER CRETACEOUS OF JAPAN

Evans S.E.; Manabe M.; Noro M.; Isaji S.; Yamaguchi M. (2006)

Platynotan lizards underwent a dramatic Late Cretaceous radiation into marine habitats. Beginning with small-bodied forms, the lineage culminated with the mosasaurs, large predatory lizards with a world-wide distribution ...

Zhao M.; Mercer J.L.; Eglinton G.; Higginson M.J.; Huang C.-Y. (2006)

We report high resolution molecular abundance data for alkenones, dinosterol, long chain diols and n-alkanols from ODP Site 658 (20°45′N, 18°35′W; 2263 m water depth). These data are compared with previously reported data ...
LATE PALEOPROTEROZOIC EXTENSION AND A PALEOSTRESS FIELD RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTH CHINA CRATON

Hou G.; Wang C.; Li J.; Qian X. (2006)

Mafic dyke swarms and aulacogens are major anorogenic extensional events in the Late Paleoproterozoic North China Craton (NCC). The N-NNW mafic dyke swarms are widespread in the NCC, whose ages span between 1.83 and 1.77 ...
THE SYMMETRY AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF GORCEIXITE, BAAL3[PO3(O,OH)]2(OH)6, A MEMBER OF THE ALUNITE SUPERGROUP

Dzikowski T.J.; Groat L.A.; Jambor J.L. (2006)

The crystal structure of the Ba-Al phosphate mineral gorceixite, a 7.0538(3), c 17.2746(6) Å, V 744.4(2) Å3, space group R3 ̄m, Z = 3, has been refined to an R1, index of 2.3% on the basis of 253 unique reflections measured ...
THE OXIDATION STATE OF EUROPIUM IN HYDROTHERMAL SCHEELITE: IN SITU MEASUREMENT BY XANES SPECTROSCOPY

Brugger J.; Jones H.; Etschmann B.; Chu Y.S.; Vogt S.; Harland C.; Ryan C. (2006)

X-ray microfluorescence and EuL3 micro-X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy were conducted to determine the distribution and valence state of europium in two samples of scheelite (CaWO4) containing ...
LATE HOLOCENE CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN IMPACT RECORDED IN A SOUTH SWEDISH OMBROTROPHIC PEAT BOG

van der Linden M.; van Geel B. (2006)

A peat core from a raised bog in southern Sweden was examined (plant macrofossils, pollen/non-pollen microfossils, colorimetric humification, carbon/nitrogen ratios, bulk densities, loss on ignition) to investigate the ...
