Summary: Three multi-proxy reconstructions of temperature in the Southern Hemisphere were analyzed, revealing century-scale and bicentennial variability similar to solar cycles. However, only one reconstruction showed a correlation between century-long variations and solar activity, while the other two records did not exhibit significant correlation. Therefore, it is difficult to draw a definite conclusion about the influence of solar activity on the climate of the Southern Hemisphere.

Summary: The study revealed significant decadal and bi-decadal periodicities in Southern Fennoscandia related to solar activity, but the exact relationship and mechanisms between solar and temperature cycles remain unclear, suggesting the need for further research.

Summary: Anthropogenic climate change has significant impacts on nutrient cycles, primary production, and ecosystem structure in the world's oceans, although the specific magnitude and spatial variability of these impacts are uncertain. Understanding how ocean conditions influence the assimilation of nitrogen and carbon into marine food webs can provide insights into how marine resources will respond to climate change.

Summary: Studying paleoclimate records and climate model simulations of the Common Era can provide valuable insights into human-caused climate change and its impacts. The hockey stick curve, despite its apparent simplicity, actually reflects the dynamicism and complexity of climate history.

Summary: The study found that contamination of boron and boron isotopes during the analysis of small carbonate samples is a significant issue, and provided recommendations for reducing contamination. The research also highlighted the unexpected levels of boron contamination during sample storage and airborne contamination by gaseous boron in the laboratory, suggesting the need for further investigation and mitigation strategies.

Summary: Stable isotopes (delta C-13 and delta N-15) in black coral serve as useful indicators for environmental records, with studies showing variations in climate and environmental changes over the past 110 years. This research suggests that black coral could be a new proxy indicator for climate changes related to anthropogenic activities.

Summary: The impacts associated with the Marquez Dome and Boltysh craters were too small to cause hyperthermal-like temperature changes, and large impacts are predicted to be uncommon during the Cenozoic era.

Summary: By analyzing pollen assemblages from fossil rodent middens, we reconstructed precipitation changes in the highlands of the Atacama Desert in the past millennium. Similarities with proxy records from the Altiplano, the tropical Andes, and the equatorial Pacific suggest that these changes may be associated with variations in the South American monsoon system.

Summary: In recent decades, there has been a rapid expansion of research on societal responses to past climate fluctuations. This interdisciplinary field, known as the History of Climate and Society (HCS), is primarily conducted by archaeologists, economists, geneticists, geographers, and paleoclimatologists. This review provides an overview of the approaches and findings of scholars in each of these disciplines, discussing how climatic changes are reconstructed and the environmental consequences they have had. It also explores the potential for transdisciplinary approaches in the field and concludes by examining how HCS studies can inform policy and activism addressing anthropogenic global warming.

Summary: Climate change and droughts threaten the ecology and resilience of saline lakes globally. However, research on their ecological response to climatic events in the Global South is lacking. This study investigated the effect of a severe drought in South Africa on the trophic structure of fish communities in a saline shallow lake. The results showed that drought altered the availability of basal resources and affected the food web, but did not significantly alter the fish community itself.

Summary: Snow is an important form of water storage in alpine watersheds, playing a crucial role in regional water balance. This study evaluated the contribution of snowmelt water to runoff in the Erdaobaihe River watershed of Changbai Mountains area, showing that snowmelt water contributes significantly to the total runoff. With climate change leading to shortened snowfall periods and increased extreme snowfall events in the region, these findings will be valuable for future water management strategies in alpine watersheds.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the seasonal and interannual variations in carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in the zooplankton crustacean community of Lake Maggiore in Italy. Different taxa and groups of zooplankton showed distinct carbon isotopic signatures, providing insights into their food sources and niche partitioning. The study found that water temperature and chlorophyll a were positively correlated with the carbon isotopic signatures of the zooplankton community. Moreover, the changing environmental parameters matched the trends in carbon isotopic signatures of certain zooplankton taxa. These results suggest that climate warming affects the availability of food sources and environmental conditions in Lake Maggiore, thereby influencing the isotopic signatures of zooplankton.

Summary: Several types of laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate isotope fractionation caused by phase transfer process for a selection of common environmental contaminants. Carbon and hydrogen isotope fractionation caused by vaporization of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL), volatilization from water, and dissolution into an organic solvent (TGDE) were investigated. The results showed significant isotope fractionation during NAPL vaporization and volatilization from water, while no significant fractionation was observed during the air-TGDE partitioning process, except for certain compounds.

Summary: Isotope measurements in the northeastern Beibu Gulf of China revealed that nitrate sources primarily originated from local pollution sources, with seasonal variations and significant impacts from human activities on the marine ecosystem, resulting in excessive nutrient levels.

Summary: By analyzing the nitrogen and mercury isotopes of eels and pike, we found that pike has consistent mercury concentration and ecological traits, making it an effective bioindicator for mercury. Eels, on the other hand, better capture site-specific mercury sources based on their mercury concentration and feeding behavior.

Summary: This paper investigates the spectral characteristics of transverse electromagnetic waves generated in solar plasma by the coalescence of Langmuir waves. It is demonstrated that different spectra of Langmuir waves result in distinct types of transverse electromagnetic wave spectra, enabling the diagnosis of the spectral features of Langmuir waves in solar plasma.
