Luminescence Sensitivity of Rhine Valley Loess: Indicators of Source Variability?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Loess provides a valuable terrestrial record of past environmental conditions, including the dynamics and trajectories air mass circulation responsible for dust transport. Here we explore variations in luminescence sensitivity characteristics sedimentary quartz feldspar as possible tools identifying changes source down loess-palaeosol sequence (LPS). Luminescence is rapidly measurable index which product interplay between lithology history or clasts. Variations profile may therefore reflect sediment provenance well other factors such weathering through pedogenesis. We undertake an empirical investigation from different grain-size fractions Schwalbenberg LPS German Rhine valley. compare samples 30 m core spanning last full glacial cycle with oxygen isotope stage (OIS) 3–2 age exposed within nearby profile. find overall inverse relationship sensitivity, variability grain sizes. Statistical analyses yield significant correlation IR50 unprocessed sediments clay content, Si/Al ratios core. Since indicate provenance, latter suggests that measurements on be used to provide reliable, rapid scan over millennial timescales.

Upper Rhine Valley: A migration crossroads of middle European oaks
1 The indigenous oak species (Quercus spp.) of the Upper Rhine Valley have migrated to their 2 current distribution range in the area after the transition to the Holocene interglacial. Since 3 post-glacial recolonization, they have been subjected to ecological changes and human 4 impact. By using chloroplast microsatellite markers (cpSSRs), we provide detailed 5 phylogeographic information and ...

Seasonal variation in water quality of Anchar Lake was evaluated using multivariate statistical techniques- principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). Water quality data collected during 4 seasons was analyzed for 13 parameters. ANOVA showed significant variation in pH (F3 = 10.86, P < 0.05), temperature (F3 = 65, P

متن کاملDigital Representations of the Rhine River Valley between Bingen and Koblenz
For 65 kilometers, between Bingen and Koblenz, the Rhine River flows through a deep valley. This area, called the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, contains extraordinary historical evidence of art, history, and the interaction between man and nature. The presence of this virtually intact, valuable evidence is the reason why the local authorities have nominated this cultural landscape for inclusion to...
