Equatorial upwelling of phosphorus drives Atlantic N₂ fixation and Sargassum blooms

High near-surface nitrogen-fixation rates that promoted the recent growth of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt were tied to greater upwelling of phosphorus from the equatorial Atlantic, according to coral-bound nitrogen isotope records from the Caribbean.

Late Miocene Arctic warmth and terrestrial climate recorded by North Greenland speleothems

The Late Miocene terrestrial climate in eastern North Greenland displayed elevated temperatures at moderate atmospheric CO₂ levels and was highly variable, reflecting the shifting orbital and ocean circulation forcings in the Arctic as the world cooled, according to proxy records from speleothems.

Recurrent humid phases in Arabia over the past 8 million years

A climatic record from desert speleothems shows that the central Arabian interior experienced recurrent humid intervals over the past 8 million years, which likely facilitated mammalian dispersals between Africa and Eurasia.

Environmental gradients reveal stress hubs pre-dating plant terrestrialization

Dadras et al. exposed Mesotaenium, an alga of the sister lineage to land plants, to a bifactorial gradient of environmental cues and use comparative analyses to pinpoint conserved circuits in plant genetic response networks.

Tropical Atlantic temperature seasonality at the end of the last interglacial

The last interglacial has been suggested as a test bed for models developed for future climate prediction, yet many climatic parameters remain unknown. Here, the authors present a precisely dated fossil coral and show that temperature seasonality in the southern Caribbean Sea 118 ka was similar to today.

Inter-hemispheric synchroneity of Holocene precipitation anomalies controlled by Earth’s latitudinal insolation gradients

Solar insolation is not equally distributed on the Earth’s surface and such imbalances influence the atmospheric circulation. Here, the authors show that latitudinal insolation gradients synchronized the hydroclimate in the Northern mid-latitudes and the African and South American Monsoons throughout the Holocene.

Dual clumped isotope thermometry resolves kinetic biases in carbonate formation temperatures

Some palaeotemperature proxies suffer from inaccuracies related to kinetic fractionations occurring during carbonate mineral growth. Here, the authors show that dual clumped isotope thermometry can identify the origin of these kinetic biases and allows for the reconstruction of accurate environmental temperatures.

Impact of molecular quadrupole moments on the energy levels at organic heterojunctions

The performance of organic semiconductor devices depends heavily on molecular parameters. Here, Schwarze et al. point out that the molecular quadrupole moment largely influences device energy levels and show how quadrupole moments can reduce the energy barrier for charge generation in solar cells.

The nitrate/proton antiporter AtCLCa mediates nitrate accumulation in plant vacuoles

The function of the members of the chloride channel (CLC) protein family, which encode organellar proton chloride exchangers, remains to be fully elucidated. Arabidopsis thaliana CLCa, a member of this family, mediates specific nitrate accumulation into the plant vacuole through a NO₃⁻/H⁺ exchanger mechanism.
