Assessment of the Effects of the 2021 Caldor Megafire on Soil Physical Properties, Eastern Sierra Nevada, USA by Brad Sion, Vera Samburova, Markus Berli, Christopher Baish, Janelle Bustarde, Sally Houseman

“…The Caldor fire burned ~222,000 acres of the Eastern Sierra Nevada during summer–fall 2021. We evaluated the effects of this “megafire” on the physical properties of a sandy soil developed from glacial tills to document fire-induced soil modifications in this region. …”

Rain‐shadow forest margins resilient to low‐severity fire and climate change but not high‐severity fire by Lucas B. Harris, Alan H. Taylor

“…We surveyed tree regeneration 9–15 yr post‐fire at 397 gridded field plots across four sites at a lower montane forest‐steppe ecotone in the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, USA, and then used statistical modeling to characterize how the probability of tree regeneration presence for different species varied along gradients of fire severity, topoclimate, and post‐fire vegetation structure and composition. …”

Hematology of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA: effect of sex, season, or location? by Vernon C. Bleich, Becky M. Pierce, Holly B. Ernest, Jeffrey T. Villepique

“…We captured and sampled 43 individuals in a remote part of the eastern Sierra Nevada, Inyo and Mono counties, California, USA, and present descriptive statistics and reference intervals for hematological variables of mountain lions occupying that rural area. …”

The Fate of Endemic Species Specialized in Island Habitat under Climate Change in a Mediterranean High Mountain by Antonio J. Mendoza-Fernández, Ángel Fernández-Ceular, Domingo Alcaraz-Segura, Miguel Ballesteros, Julio Peñas

“…<i>Moehringia fontqueri</i> is a threatened endemic plant restricted to north-facing siliceous rocks along a few ridges of the eastern Sierra Nevada. To guide conservation actions against climate change effects, here we propose the simultaneous assessment of the current reproductive success and the possible species’ range changes between current and future climatic conditions, assessing separately different subpopulations by altitude. …”

The Rocks That Did Not Fall: A Multidisciplinary Analysis of Near‐Source Ground Motions From an Active Normal Fault by D. T. Trugman, J. Brune, K. D. Smith, J. N. Louie, G. M. Kent

“…This study provides a unique vantage point from which to interpret rarely‐observed strong‐motion recordings from close to an active normal fault, one of many that dominate hazard along the eastern Sierra.…”

Evidence for polybaric fractional crystallization in a continental arc: Hidden Lakes mafic complex, Sierra Nevada batholith, California by Lewis, Madeline J., Bucholz, Claire E., Jagoutz, Oliver E.

“…Here, we present field and petrographic observations, geochronology, and geochemistry of the Hidden Lakes mafic complex in the central-eastern Sierra Nevada batholith. Our results show that the complex comprises norites, gabbros, monzondiorites, and monzonites that record fractional crystallization of a hydrous (~ 3 wt% H2O), non-primitive basalt within the upper crust (0.3 GPa) at c. 95–96 Ma. …”

Improved mapping strategy to better inform policy on the control of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Sierra Leone by Sonnie Mustapha, Nyorkor Emanuel, Paye Jusufu, Wamsley Anna, Dada Nsa, Hodges Mary, Barnish Guy, Bockarie Moses, Zhang Yaobi

“…</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The prediction by previous spatial analysis that <it>S. mansoni </it>was highly endemic across north-eastern Sierra Leone was confirmed with a significant proportion of children heavily or moderately infected. …”

A >200 ka U‐Th Based Chronology From Lacustrine Evaporites, Searles Lake, CA by Justin S. Stroup, Kristian J. Olson, Tim K. Lowenstein, Adam B. Jost, Hayley M. Mosher, Mark D. Peaple, Sarah J. Feakins, Christine Y. Chen, Steven P. Lund, David McGee

“…Searles Basin, California, records the depositional history of a fluctuating saline‐alkaline lake in the terminal basin of the Owens River system draining the eastern Sierra Nevada. Here, we establish a U‐Th chronology for the ∼76‐m‐long SLAPP‐SLRS17 core collected in 2017 based on dating of evaporite minerals. …”

Crystallization Conditions and Petrogenetic Characterization of Metaluminous to Peraluminous Calc-Alkaline Orogenic Granitoids from Mineralogical Systematics: The Case of the Cambr... by Priscila S. Zandomeni, Juan A. Moreno, Sebastián O. Verdecchia, Edgardo G. Baldo, Juan A. Dahlquist, Matías M. Morales Cámera, Catalina Balbis, Manuela Benítez, Samanta Serra-Varela, Carlos I. Lembo Wuest

“…The Sierra de Guasayán (Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina) is formed by low to medium grade metamorphic rocks intruded by Cambrian metaluminous (La Soledad quartz-diorite), slightly peraluminous (Guasayán, El Escondido and El Martirizado granodiorite plutons), and strongly peraluminous (Alto Bello granodiorite) granitoids of the Pampean magmatic arc. …”
