Article Synopsis
- The shift from foraging to farming in the ancient Northeast Baltic reveals significant complexities and regional differences that are not fully understood.
- This study combines multiple scientific analyses to provide a comprehensive view of early farming practices in the 3rd millennium cal BCE, emphasizing the coexistence of different dietary habits among communities.
- Rather than a straightforward transition to farming, a diverse system emerged with local hunter-gatherers maintaining their lifestyles while newcomers practiced mixed economies, indicating a long-lasting interaction between these groups without full adoption of agriculture.

Article Synopsis
- Tundra soils hold 50% of global soil organic carbon (SOC), which may decompose due to climate warming, increasing carbon export and contributing to further warming.
- The study expands the LPJ-GUESS ecosystem model to include processes like DOC production and mineralization, assessing their effects on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export from the Stordalen catchment in northern Sweden.
- The model effectively simulates DOC dynamics, showing the importance of water flow and peatland processes, and captures seasonal variations, making it a useful tool for exploring the climate-soil interactions.
