Summary: This study focuses on the palaeoenvironmental and chronostratigraphic study of the Neuhofen Formation at Mitterdorf, Germany. The presence of nannoplankton zones NN3 and NN4 necessitated a reinterpretation of the existing magnetostratigraphic data. The results suggest that the 3rd order sea level highstand at 17.85 Ma had an impact on the environment, and a transition from eutrophic, open marine to mesotrophic, shallow marine conditions occurred at 17.67 Ma.

Summary: This study fills the knowledge gap on how climate change impacts land-sea ecological connectivity in deep time. Through an investigation of a Jurassic warming event, it reveals discrepancy in the timing of response between land plants and marine ecosystems, and highlights the strong ecological connectivity between the two.

Summary: Volcanic ash layers can serve as important time markers in the geological record for reconstructing paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic, and paleogeographic conditions. This study provides geochronological and geochemical data for the Gorelka tephra, a significant marker for a major marine transgression in the Eastern Paratethys Sea during the Miocene. The eruption age of the Gorelka tephra has been constrained to 11.5 +/- 0.5 Ma, and its characteristics suggest a large-scale eruption from a volcanic source in the Transcarpathian region.

Summary: Analysis of lipid biomarkers from the Southern Ocean suggests that methane hydrate dissociation across the Oligocene-Miocene boundary may have played a role in ending glaciation, with implications for global carbon cycle perturbations and climate change. This study provides evidence of direct links between methane release and subsequent oxidation during this time period, shedding light on the mechanisms behind rapid climate changes in Earth's history.

Summary: The Miocene Diatom Suite sediments in the Eastern Paratethys Sea of Azerbaijan provide crucial information on how Middle Miocene climate affected erosion, sedimentation, and deposition in the region, indicating a transition from humid to relatively arid conditions. The geochemical proxies suggest a moderately humid to arid climate in eastern Azerbaijan during the Cenozoic era, with warm climatic conditions lasting through the mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum.

Summary: The study analyzed the geological characteristics and organic matter sources in the Vrancea and Tarca?u blocks in Eastern Romania, revealing different types of organic matter sources in different sub-basins. Stratigraphical data suggest differences in nutrient availability between the Vrancea sub-basin and the Tarca?u region, leading to variations in organic matter. Additionally, analysis of water column stratification and redox conditions showed different levels of redox conditions at different locations, possibly related to local upwelling.

Summary: Late Oligocene-early Miocene palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate in the Ying-Qiong Basin, South China Sea were reconstructed comprehensively using various data, with findings showing a relative abundance of tropical/subtropical plants in a warming climate, likely related to increased summer monsoonal precipitation, and proposing the establishment of the East Asian summer monsoon potentially caused by uplift of the northern Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau around 24.9 Ma.

Summary: This study reports a fossil amphibian and squamate reptile assemblage from the late Miocene, representing a lacustrine taphonomic context. The fauna indicates an environmental shift into a more open habitat, possibly due to climate aridification.

Summary: This study described a fossil wood of the Juniperus genus from the Popov Kamen section in South Russia, providing insights into the taxonomic position and phytogeographic history of the genus. The fossil wood, well-preserved by mummification, showed similarities to the extant Mediterranean species J. excelsa. This is the first reliable macrofossil evidence of the sect. Sabina from Eurasia, and the age of the wood aligns with molecular dating of juniper species in Europe, Asia, and eastern Africa.

Summary: This article revises the stratigraphic scale of the Eastern Paratethys based on a study of the Neogene stratotype and reference sections, providing new data on regional subdivisions and their correlation with the Central Paratethys and Mediterranean stratotypes. It also discusses the history of identification, biotic characteristics, and stratigraphic methods, as well as the main results of the stratigraphic scheme revision.

Summary: This study focuses on the Hungarian Palaeogene Basin within the Central Paratethys to characterize the effect of the global cooling event on calcareous nannoplankton assemblages and reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental evolution of the region. The research shows that during the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition, the calcareous nannoplankton assemblages underwent significant changes, with species gradually adapting to cooler surface waters.

Summary: The Vienna Basin is one of the largest onshore oil and gas fields in Europe, consisting of several horst and graben structures. Analysis of water depth evolution along a NE-SW transect indicates dramatic changes over time, coinciding with shifts in prevailing tectonic regimes.

Summary: Siliceous marine microfossils were unexpectedly found in flower honey samples from Poland and Tunisia, possibly deposited on flowers by wind and collected by bees. The harvest time of honey was identified through comparison of pollen content and flowering calendar. Trajectory analysis confirmed the possibility of siliceous microfossils coming from rocks of different geological ages.

Summary: The study re-evaluated the fossil fauna and flora, as well as lithology of the Eferding Formation in Upper Austria. It showed the impact of sea-level fluctuations on marine biota and terrestrial climate, with the presence of phosphatic nodules indicating eutrophication in the coastal environment.

Summary: The interactions between organic and inorganic air pollutants, enhanced by weather parameters, can worsen respiratory allergy symptoms. This study investigated the daily variation in airborne concentrations of various bioparticles (pollen grains, fungal spores, microalgae, fern spores, and invertebrates) over a three-year period in Bratislava. It was found that air temperature had the most significant influence on bioparticle concentrations, positively correlating with all types except microalgae. Wind speed had a diluting effect on most particles but positively correlated with microalgae concentrations. Additionally, higher levels of ozone, PM10, CO, and/or NO2 were associated with increased levels of bioaerosols. The coexistence of organic and inorganic pollutants poses a threat to allergy sufferers, while microalgae concentrations decrease with increasing levels of CO, NO2, and PM10.
