The Siusi/Seis section has been measured for the delta C-13 signature across the Permian-Triassic Boundary (PTB) in high resolution on magnetostratigraphic samples from Scholger et al. (2000), enabling an exact correlation with magnetostratigraphic data. We show that the base of the short normal polarity magnetozone that has been reported from the evento-stratigraphic boundary correlates with a distinctive short positive carbon isotope excursion marking the beginning of the decrease in delta C-13, which has been documented in almost all marine carbonate PTB sections. These findings correlate well with the data from the Abadeh section (Iran) and a composite magnetostratigraphy (Hounslow et al., 2008), establishing a global pattern that should facilitate the accurate correlation of sections and the correct placement of the PTB.

Inoculation of grape musts with single strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast reduces the diversity of chemical profiles of wines

Christian Philipp, Bahareh Bagheri, Micha Horacek, Phillip Eder, Florian Franz Bauer, Mathabatha Evodia Setati

Summary: Anecdotal evidence suggests that spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of grape juice is gaining popularity in global wine production. Wines produced from inoculated or spontaneous fermentation show distinct chemical and sensory profiles. Inoculation with single active dry yeast strains has been found to limit the chemical diversity of wines and impact fungal community profiles during fermentation.

Differentiation of Apricots of Different Geographic Origin in Central and Southern Europe by Applying 87Sr/86Sr Analysis: Potential and Limitations

Micha Horacek, Lenka Klcova, Martina Hudcovicova, Katarina Ondreickova, Jozef Gubis, Stefan Hoelzl

Summary: Consumers prefer specific origins of food and are willing to pay higher prices for them. Controlling the declared geographic origin of food requires investigating the product to determine if it matches the claimed origin. Traditional methods use stable isotope analysis, but this requires new reference data each time and results in additional costs and delays. However, using geogenic parameters for origin control only requires one set of reference data.

The Calcium Isotope (δ44/40Ca) Record Through Environmental Changes: Insights From the Late Triassic

Zsofia Kovacs, Isaline Demangel, Andre Baldermann, Dorothee Hippler, Anne-Desiree Schmitt, Sophie Gangloff, Leopold Krystyn, Sylvain Richoz

Summary: Calcium isotopes provide valuable information for studying ancient environments, including past changes in calcium fluxes, environmental shifts, ecological factors, and diagenesis of carbonate rocks. The Late Triassic calcium isotope record reveals significant global signals, such as a decrease in the early Rhaetian and a negative excursion associated with the emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province. These signals can be explained by changes in the isotopic ratio of continental calcium influx, high chemical weathering rate of carbonates, and possibly ocean acidification. Local factors, such as lithology and early marine diagenesis, also contribute to the observed variations in calcium isotopic ratios.

Summary: The increasing number of food fraud cases has made it imperative to ensure the geographical origin of food samples. Stable isotope ratio analysis can differentiate food products based on their origin and production systems. The TRACE project analyzed the stable isotope ratios of 227 authentic beef samples, revealing that the environmental conditions of the rearing areas can cause sample clustering. The stable isotope measurements also showed statistical differences in coastal and inland regions, production sites at different latitudes, geological variations, and farming systems related to the animals' diet.

The Spathian-Anisian (Lower-Middle Triassic) Boundary in the candidate GSSP section at Des,li Caira, Romania: Review of existing data, new findings, and comparison with other candidates

Micha Horacek, Eugen Gradinaru

Summary: The Des,li Caira section in Romania is a renowned candidate GSSP for the Spathian-Anisian Boundary, recording the transition from the Lower Triassic to the Middle Triassic. Detailed analysis of the section's data, including a high-resolution 813C curve, conodont, ammonoid, and foraminifera species turnovers, as well as palaeomagnetic data, confirms its suitability as a GSSP. Other candidate sections like Kcira section in Albania and Wantou section in China have smaller datasets and lack detailed ammonoid stratigraphy, making Des,li Caira the better choice once the issue of two boundary levels is resolved.

δ34S and Geochemical Analyses for the Determination of, and Discrimination between, Salt Samples of Different Geographic Origin: A Feasibility Study

Micha Horacek

Summary: The geographic origin of salt is considered unimportant for its quality, but certain brands, especially sea salt, are sold at higher prices. Therefore, it is necessary to control the declared geographic origin of salt. Delta S-34 analysis and element concentration analysis were conducted. The results showed similar values for sea salt samples, while slight differences were found in Mediterranean salt samples. Rock salt samples showed varying values depending on formation time and origin. Terrestrial salt samples differed significantly from marine ones in elemental patterns, and differences within marine samples exist as well.

Micha Horacek, Helene Nieuwoudt, Florian F. Bauer, Bahareh Bagheri, Mathabatha E. Setati

Summary: Geographic origin and terroir greatly affect the price of wine. Measures for control are needed due to intentional incorrect declarations. This study compares the stable isotope pattern of South African wine with Central European/Austrian wine and shows that discrimination between the two regions is generally straightforward. However, exceptionally hot and dry summers in Europe may reduce this differentiation.

Isotope Analysis (13C, 18O) of Wine From Central and Eastern Europe and Argentina, 2008 and 2009 Vintages: Differentiation of Origin, Environmental Indications, and Variations Within Countries

Micha Horacek, Nives Ogrinc, Dana Alina Magdas, Daniel Wunderlin, Sanja Sucur, Vesna Maras, Ana Misurovic, Reinhard Eder, Franc Cus, Stefan Wyhlidal, Wolfgang Papesch

Summary: This study compared the stable isotope composition of oxygen and carbon of wines from four Central and Southeastern European countries and from Argentina. Similar trends were observed for wines from Austria, Slovenia, and Romania, while Montenegrin and Argentinean samples showed different results. The speculation is that weather development is similar for the first three countries due to their geographical proximity, while Montenegro and Argentina are influenced by different factors.

Impact of water level change on shifts in subsistence regimes revealed by anthropogenic fire in the lower Yangtze basin during the Mid-Holocene

Haoran Dong, Zhitong Chen, Yucheng Wang, Jie Chen, Zhiping Zhang, Zhongwei Shen, Xinwei Yan, Jianbao Liu

Summary: Through sediment records from Lake Nanyi in the lower Yangtze, we found that anthropogenic fire activity played a dominant role in the region, and the temporal pattern of fire activity was asynchronous from east to west. Archaeological evidence suggests an inverse relationship between agricultural and population levels and fire intensity during the mid-Holocene, with fire intensity being influenced by the diversity of landscape types associated with pre-historic subsistence patterns. Overall, changes in regional water-level delayed the transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture in the lower Yangtze region.

Barnacle-rich facies as a tool for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions

Giovanni Coletti, Giulia Bosio, Alberto Collareta, Or Mordecai Bialik, Eleonora Regattieri, Irene Cornacchia, Gianni Insacco, John Buckeridge

Summary: This paper argues that sessile barnacles are an excellent proxy for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The shells of barnacles consist of diagenetically stable low-magnesium calcite and record short-term variations. Analyses of several Western Mediterranean barnacle-rich deposits demonstrate the utility of barnacles as proxies for water depth, distance from the coastline, and hydrodynamic conditions. Moreover, the stable isotope ratios of barnacle shells can provide detailed palaeoenvironmental information.

Phosphorus cycling during the Hirnantian glaciation

Johann Mueller, Michael M. Joachimski, Oliver Lehnert, Peep Mannik, Yadong Sun

Summary: The Late Ordovician mass extinction occurred during an ice age, with maximum ice coverage and a substantial drop in global sea level. This led to the exposure or shallowing of shallow tropical shelf environments. The study suggests that the burial rate of nutrient phosphorus (P) on shelves was minimal during this glacial period, leading to excess bioavailable P entering the open ocean and stimulating phytoplankton production, which in turn lowered oxygen concentrations.
