Ecology meets archaeology: Past, present and future vegetation‐derived ecosystems services from the Nuragic Sardinia (1700–580 BCE) by Marco Malavasi, Manuele Bazzichetto, Stefania Bagella, Vojtěch Barták, Anna Depalmas, Antonello Gregorini, Marta Gaia Sperandii, Alicia T. R. Acosta, Simonetta Bagella

“…The vegetation‐derived ES represented a driving force in the land occupation strategies of the Nuragic people, who preferred, for their settlements, the mesophiluos cork oak VS and secondary the deciduous broad‐leaved ones, which, with fresh climatic conditions on fertile substrates and gentle slopes on effusive magmatic rocks, can provide land for grazing and agriculture. …”

Ambient noise tomography of El Hierro island (Canary Islands) by Iván Cabrera-Pérez, Jean Soubestre, Jean Soubestre, Luca D’Auria, Monika Przeor, Rubén García, José Barrancos, Germán D. Padilla, Nemesio M. Pérez, Nemesio M. Pérez, Janire Prudencio, Janire Prudencio

“…Additionally, we observed two high-velocity anomalies in the northern and southern parts of the island at a depth between 3 and 4 km b.s.l., which we related to the accumulation of solidified igneous rocks. On the other hand, a low-velocity anomaly was observed in the Golfo valley, between 0 and 0.5 km b.s.l., and we interpreted it as megalandslide deposits. …”

Balancing the Strength–Impact Relationship and Other Key Properties in Polypropylene Copolymer–Natural CaSO₄ (Anhydrite)-Filled Composites by Marius Murariu, Fouad Laoutid, Yoann Paint, Oltea Murariu, Jean-Marie Raquez, Philippe Dubois

“…To develop novel mineral-filled composites and assess their enhanced properties (stiffness, a good balance between mechanical strength and impact resistance, greater temperature stability), a high-impact polypropylene copolymer (PPc) matrix containing an elastomeric discrete phase was melt mixed with natural CaSO₄ β-anhydrite II (AII) produced from gypsum rocks. First, in a prior investigation, the PPc composites filled with AII (without any modification) displayed enhanced stiffness, which is correlated with the relative content of the filler. …”

Mineralogy and mineral chemistry of rare-metal pegmatites at Abu Rusheid granitic gneisses, South Eastern Desert, Egypt by Mohamed Fahmy Raslan, Mohamed A. Ali

“…The Abu Rushied area, situated in the South Eastern Desert of Egypt is a distinctive occurrence of economically important rare-metal mineralization where the host rocks are represented by granitic gneisses. Correspondingly, mineralogical and geochemical investigation of pegmatites pockets scattered within Abu Rusheid granitic gneisses revealed the presence of Hf-zircon, ferrocolumbite and uranyl silicate minerals (uranophane and kasolite). …”
