Soil microbial communities mediate the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). The amount carbon (C) that is respired leaves as CO(2) (soil respiration) and causes one greatest fluxes in global cycle. How will respond to warming, however, not well understood. To elucidate effect warming on community we analyzed from experiment Achenkirch, Austria. a mature spruce forest was warmed by 4 °C during snow-free seasons since 2004. Repeated sampling control plots took place 2008 until 2010. We...
The polychrome glazes from the Processional Way and Ishtar Gate of Babylon are among best preserved antiquity. Yet, little is known about logistical choices involved in their production. Variations isotope ratios can be useful for complementing an archaeological investigation potential geological sources raw materials. Consistent with evidence ancient texts on trade metals, Turkish ore deposits thus tentatively proposed as possible metal oxide colorants used investigated three Neo‐Babylonian...
Changes in stable chromium isotopes (denoted as δ53Cr) ancient carbonate sediments are increasingly used to reconstruct the oxygenation history Earth’s atmosphere and oceans through time. As a significant proportion of marine older than Cambrian is microbially-mediated, utility δ53Cr values carbonates hinges on whether these accurately capture isotope composition their environment. We report Cr concentrations (Cr) modern marginal non-marine microbial carbonates. These data supported by C O...
Egyptian blue is a copper-based pigment that was widely used across the Mediterranean from ca. 3300 BC up to late antiquity and even later. For this case study, we analyzed provenance of Campana relief collection Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark. reliefs are terracotta plaques, which were named after Italian collector Gampietro Campana, who published first in 1851. These mould-made plaques as ornaments central Italy 60 50 AD – time when production attested at several sites Bay Naples, Italy....
Strontium isotope ratios ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) are commonly used in archeological and forensic studies to assess if humans fauna local the place they were found or not. This approach is largely unexplored for wooden artifacts recovered contexts, as wood – rare instances it does survive often poorly preserved. One of most common ways preserved through anoxic conditions waterlogged contexts. A more unusual form preservation submergence natural pitch. These depositional media contribute their own...
<p>Carbonate-based reconstructions of environmental conditions in the Precambrian rely heavily on shallow-water and typically microbially-mediated carbonates. This is because carbonate rocks formed either microbially or abiotically. Consequently, organo-sedimentary structures (microbialites) are extensively used as archives physico-chemical early Earth environments using traditional isotopes such stable carbon oxygen isotopes. When post-depositional alteration carefully...
