Issue Date: | 2010 | Journal: | Global and Planetary Change | Abstract: | Five palaeosols, intercalated within the Quaternary dune beds of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote (Canary Islands), off the Moroccan coast, mark wetter climatic episodes. In all of them, billions of calcified insect ootheca testify to past occurrences of Acridian plagues, such as those reaching the western Sahara following heavy rainfall events over the Sahel. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17954 | ISSN: | 0921-8181 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2010.01.007 | Source: | Global and Planetary Change [ISSN 0921-8181], v. 72 (4), p. 318-320 |
