A modelling study of the Bjerknes compensation in the meridional heat transport in a freshening ocean by Haijun Yang, Yuxing Wang, Zhengyu Liu

“…Similar to previous studies, the fresh water input in the high latitude Atlantic weakens the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and thus the northward Atlantic OHT significantly, leading to a warming (cooling) in sea surface temperature in the Southern (Northern) Hemisphere and in turn a southward shift of atmospheric convection. …”

Synchronous Environmental and Cultural Change in the Emergence of Agricultural Economies 10,000 Years Ago in the Levant. by Ferran Borrell, Aripekka Junno, Joan Antón Barceló

“…A major cultural discontinuity is observed in the archaeological record around 10,000 cal BP in synchrony with a Holocene Rapid Climate Change (RCC), a short period of climatic instability recorded in the Northern Hemisphere. This study demonstrates the interconnectedness of the first agricultural economies and the ecosystems they inhabited, and emphasizes the complex nature of human responses to environmental change during the Neolithic period in the Levant. …”

Pathway-dependent fate of permafrost region carbon by Thomas Kleinen, Victor Brovkin

“…We use a land surface model to quantify the amount of carbon released up until 2300 and determine the net carbon balance of the northern hemisphere permafrost region under climate warming following the RCP scenarios 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5. …”

Formation of the North Atlantic Warming Hole by reducing anthropogenic sulphate aerosols by Yuki Kusakabe, Toshihiko Takemura

“…This can be due to the spatial concentration of sulphate aerosols in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, resulting larger changes in the heat transport from the south on the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current along with changes in freshwater inflow from the Arctic through the Labrador Sea.…”

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the North American sclerophyllous evergreen shrub, Quercus turbinella (Fagaceae) by Amarsanaa Gantsetseg, Eun-Kyeong Han, Jung-Hyun Lee

“…AbstractQuercus turbinella (section Quercus; Fagaceae) is an evergreen shrub characteristic in central Arizona and it concerns one of the most abundant and economically important genera of Quercus in the Northern Hemisphere. Here, we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome to provide insight into the phylogenetic relationship of Q. turbinella. …”

Allelopathic and toxicological effects of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil by Lejla Husić, Adisa Parić, Aner Mesic

“…Origanum vulgare L. has been proven to be the strongest herbal antiseptic in the world, native to the Mediterranean region, but is widely naturalized elsewhere in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. This study aimed to estimate the phytotoxic effect of three different concentrations of oregano essential oil (O. vulgare) on three selected plant species namely, wheat, tomato and mint using biotest germination and effects on seedling growth, as well as its toxicological properties using Allium test. …”

MULTI-ARCHIVE TEMPERATURE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC FOR THE PAST TWO MILLENNIA by Vladimir Klimenko, Vladimir Matskovsky, Dittmar Dahlmann

“…A comparison of mean decadal temperature reconstruction for Northeastern Europe with those for larger regions and the Hemisphere shows that larger climatic events were visible both in the whole Northern Hemisphere and its separate regions. Less significant climatic events on a regional level may differ considerably from the overall climate signature on the hemispheric level. …”

Towards a Society of <i>Stable Nones</i>: Lifelong Non-Denominationalism as the Prevailing Pattern in East Germany by Olaf Müller, Chiara Porada

“…The increase in the number of people who do not belong to any religion (“nones”) has long been observed in many societies in the Northern hemisphere. This process is already well advanced in East Germany, where the proportion of “stable nones”, i.e., those who grew up without any ties to religion from childhood onwards, has become particularly large and will most likely form the majority in the near future. …”

Magnetic Compass Orientation in a Palaearctic–Indian Night Migrant, the Red-Headed Bunting by Tushar Tyagi, Sanjay Kumar Bhardwaj

“…Red-headed Buntings (<i>Emberiza bruniceps</i>) perform long-distance migrations within their southerly overwintering grounds and breeding areas in the northern hemisphere. Long-distance migration demands essential orientation mechanisms. …”

Pangea B: an artifact of incorrect paleomagnetic assumptions? by D. Vandamme, P. Rochette

“…However, the corresponding apparent latitudinal difference between the two supercontinents can be easily accounted for, without invoking this megashear, considering the effect of inclination error (or equivalent non-dipole field) on the site distribution used in the paleomagnetic study. Once northern hemisphere Southern Alps data are considered, Pangea B no longer holds. …”
