Forest and tree species distribution on the ultramafic substrates of New Caledonia

About a third of New Caledonia is covered with ultramafic soils (UM) which hosts a rich flora (endemism > 85%) threatened by mining activities. This combination makes the ultramafic vegetation a floristic hotspot within a biodiversity hotspot. UM soi...

Can we use the planation surface concept to reconstruct the morphogenesis of New Caledonia,? First low temperature thermochronological data

Nickel ore deposits of New Caledonia are formed in thick laterites and ferricretes developed on peridotites. Formation of this regolith remains unclear but combines stable phases with weathering profile development and preservation and mobile phases ...

Post-obduction dismantling of the early regolith and related conglomerates in the Kopeto-Boulinda-Nepoui area (New Caledonia): a possible Lower Miocen...

In New Caledonia post obduction uplift caused the erosion of the early regolith, but their timing is poorly constrained. The Nepoui Formation, on the west coast, is a witness of post-obduction deposits. This area presents stepped ferruginized surface...

Eocene pre- and syn-obduction tectonics in New Caledonia (Southwest Pacific), a case for oblique subduction, transcurrent tectonics and oroclinal bend...

The structural analysis of the metamorphic belt and allochthonous terranes, which represent the lower and upper plates of the Eocene subduction/obduction complex of New Caledonia respectively, unravels a multi-step evolution. At subduction inception,...

Deepwater fold-and-thrust belt along New Caledonia's western margin: relation to post-obduction vertical motions

Classically, deepwater fold-and-thrust belts are classified in two main types, depending if they result from near- or far-field stresses and the understanding of their driving and triggering mechanism is poorly known. We present a geophysical dataset...

The metamorphic sole of New Caledonia ophiolite: Ar-40/Ar-39, U-Pb, and geochemical evidence for subduction inception at a spreading ridge

Amphibolite lenses that locally crop out below the serpentinite sole at the base of the ophiolite of New Caledonia (termed Peridotite Nappe) recrystallized in the high-temperature amphibolite facies and thus sharply contrast with blueschists and eclo...

Geometry and deformation of the sole of a large obducted ophiolitic unit: insights from surface geology and airborne electromagnetics – Peridotite N...

To clarify the serpentinite correlation and kinematics in New Caledonia, we focus on the northwestern boundary of the Massif du Sud and the Mont Do Massif, in the Boulouparis area. On the basis of airborne electromagnetics data, structural analysis, ...

Pennathrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a new panchaetothripine genus from New Caledonia

The Pacific island of New Caledonia is located about 1500km East of Australia just north of the Tropic of Capricorn. It has a rich endemic flora involving more than 5000 plant species (Endemia.nc 2021; Guillaumin 1948), but the only account of the Th...

Respective and combined roles of rhizobia and ectomycorrhizal fungi in the plant growth, symbiotic efficiency, nutrients and metals contents of a legu...

Acacia spirorbis subsp. spirorbis Labill. is a widespread tree legume in New Caledonia that establishes mutual symbioses with both N2-fixing rhizobia and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. Moreover, A. spirorbis is able to naturally grow on ultramafic soil...

Architectural traits underlie growth form diversity and polycarpic versus monocarpic life histories in Cerberiopsis (Apocynaceae)

Plant architecture strongly influences plant growth habits, as it determines the arrangement, function and fate of meristems. How architecture could be involved in the monocarpic life history, i.e. dying after flowering, remains poorly investigated. ...
