Short summary
The study explores Maritime Antarctica's geology, shaped by periglacial forces, using pioneering gamma-spectrometric and magnetic surveys on igneous rocks due to limited Antarctic surveys. Machine learning predicts radionuclide and magnetic content based on terrain features, linking their distribution to landscape processes, morphometrics, lithology, and pedogeomorphology. Inaccuracies arise due to complex periglacial processes and landscape complexities.

Short summary
We proposed a different method to evaluate different intensities of weathering in a heterogeneous area (soils, geology and relief) and small number of samples. We use combined data from three geophysical sensors, clustering and machine learning (nested-leave-one-out-cross-validation) to distinguish weathering intensities and assess the relationship of these variables with weathering, relief, geology, and soil types and attributes. and we obtained satisfactory performances of models evaluation.

Short summary
The Patos Lagoon estuary and adjacent marine coast (PLEA) has been a site of the Brazilian Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program since 1998. LTER-PLEA contributes information about the biota composition, distribution and abundance, and estuarine ecological processes. The LTER-PLEA database (8 datasets containing 6972 sampling events and records of 275 species) represents one of the most robust and longest databases of biological diversity in an estuarine coastal system of South America.

Short summary
The present study addresses the soil information gap in tropical seagrass meadows. The different geological and bioclimatic settings caused a relevant soil diversity. Contrasting geochemical conditions promote different intensities of soil processes. Seagrass soils from the northeastern semiarid coast are marked by a more intense sulfidization. Understanding soil processes may help in the sustainable management of seagrasses.
The present study addresses the soil information gap in tropical seagrass meadows. The different...
