Meter-scale peritidal carbonate strata from an isolated platform in the Nanpanjiang Basin of South China were tested for the presence of periodic or quasi-periodic climatic signals. These signals provide information on factors controlling cyclic sedimentation in the equatorial eastern Tethys during the Early Triassic greenhouse period. Parasequences are composed of shallowing-upward successions...

Understanding the impact of past climatic events on the demographic history of extant species is critical for predicting species' responses to future climate change. Palaeoclimatic instability is a major mechanism of lineage diversification in taxa with low dispersal and small geographical ranges in tropical ecosystems. However, the impact of these climatic events remains questionable for the d...

in many signal processing applications, an appropriate measure to comparetwo signals plays a fundamental role in both implementing the algorithm andevaluating its performance. several techniques have been introduced in literature assimilarity measures. however, the existing measures are often either impractical forsome applications or they have unsatisfactory results in some other applications....

Abstract The hydrogen isotopic signature (δ 2 H) of water in trees contains information on plant functional responses to climatic changes and the origin water. This is also true for non-exchangeable H NE ) organic matter, which additional physiological biochemical that can be dated specific years if extracted from annual rings trees. Despite this potential gaining unique insights δ tree-ring ce...
