MINERALOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE FOR MULTI-STAGE FORMATION OF THE CHERTOVO KORYTO DEPOSIT by Yu. I. Tarasova, О. T. Sotskaya, S. Yu. Skuzovatov, V. A. Vanin, Z. I. Kulikova, A. E. Budyak

“…In our study, we distinguish five mineral associations resulting from heterochronous processes that sequentially replaced each other:- The earliest association related with the quartz-muscovite-sericite metasomatism and the removal of REE and other elements from the rocks and their partial redeposition;- Metamorphic sulphidization presented by scattered impregnations of pyrrhotite, as evidenced by small lenses of pyrrhotite, which are considerably elongated (axes up to 0.7 cm long) along the foliation planes (Figs 3, a, b);- Ore mineralization represented by a superimposed hydrothermal gold association with arsenopyrite (Fig. 3, d);- Late chalcophilic mineralization formed at the final stage of hydrothermal-metasomatic process (Figs 3, e, f);- Post-ore silification.Geochemical characteristics. …”

Thinning intensity influences the C:N:P stoichiometry in forest ecosystems: A global synthesis by Chongwei Fan, Guiyao Zhou, Hongyang Chen, Zhenggang Du, Ruiqiang Liu, Yanghui He, Changjiang Huang, Shuying Qiu, Yimin Zhu, Jie Li, Xuhui Zhou

“…Thinning-induced changes in the C:N, C:P, and N:P ratios were positively correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP), but negatively with post-thinning duration and stand age. These findings highlight the impact of thinning intensity on the connection between above- and belowground processes, which may decouple the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, and P in forest ecosystems. …”
