Heavy magnesium isotopic signatures in arc lavas may be attributed to dehydration of subducting hydrated mantle
Fluids released from subducting slabs profoundly affect mantle composition, rock melting points, and arc magma generation. However, identifying fluid...

Less than 4% of dryland areas are projected to desertify despite increased aridity under climate change
Drylands have low biological productivity compared to non-drylands, making many human activities within them sensitive to long-term trends. Trends in...

Geochemical constraints on ridge-plume interaction in the West Philippine Basin
The West Philippine Basin is not only a back-arc basin resulting from the subduction of the paleo-plates, but it has also undergone modification due...

A shift in transitional forests of the North American boreal will persist through 2100
High northern latitude changes with Arctic amplification across a latitudinal forest gradient suggest a shift towards an increased presence of trees...

Global forest gaps reduce litterfall but increase litter carbon and phosphorus release
Ongoing global climate change and conventional forestry have led to a dramatic increase in new forest gaps, predicted to strongly impact litter...
