Memory and jamming in fault zone sediments

Creep and earthquakes produce distinct microstructural fabrics, representing a form of material memory that can be created and erased through the seismic cycle, according to X-ray microtomography of sediments within the San Andreas fault zone.

Magnetic vector tomography reveals giant magnetofossils are optimised for magnetointensity reception

Some giant magnetofossils may have acted as magnetoreceptors in motile animals, according to three-dimensional vector tomography of a spearhead giant magnetofossil which identifies a magnetic structure optimised to respond to magnetic field intensity variations

A quantitative hydroclimatic context for the European Great Famine of 1315–1317

Exceptionally wet growing seasons, compared to the past 700 years, preceded the European Great Famine of 1315-1317 and are associated with a newly identified hydroclimate pattern, according to analyses of Europe-wide tree ring data.

Solar wind erosion of lunar regolith is suppressed by surface morphology and regolith properties

Sputtering yields from solar wind exposure on lunar regolith are up to an order of magnitude lower than expected from prior modeling and calculations, according to laboratory-based experiments on real lunar Apollo samples and advanced 3D simulations

Fire, environmental and anthropogenic controls on pantropical tree cover

Fire has less direct influence on tropical savanna tree cover than previously believed, while heat stress, water availability, wind throw and changes in fire regime are more critical, according to simulations using a Bayesian limitation framework

Salt marsh litter decomposition varies more by litter type than by extent of sea-level inundation

Global estimates of salt marsh organic matter decomposition dynamics can be improved by taking into account the differences in decomposition rates among litter types, according to an in situ manipulative experiment in a French temperate salt marsh

The key role of forest disturbance in reconciling estimates of the northern carbon sink

A satellite-based estimate of forest regrowth carbon flux across the Northern Hemisphere suggests forest disturbance and regrowth are transient but important aspects of the carbon sink that may explain underestimates from dynamic global vegetation models

The evolution of biogeochemical recycling by persistence-based selection

Biogeochemical recycling that helps maintain Earth’s habitability is promoted by persistence-based natural selection, even when such recycling depends upon species with relatively low organism-level fitness, according to modeling of life-environment coevolution

Significant contribution of internal variability to recent Barents–Kara sea ice loss in winter

Internal variability is more important in shaping winter Arctic sea ice loss over the satellite period than previously thought, though anthropogenic forcing remains the primary influence, according to large ensemble simulations analyzed with machine-learning.
