M. Sweeting's tropical karst studies can be split into 3 phases, the first being a phase of reconnaissance and exploration in the 1950s and 1960s; the second a phase of increased measurement beginning in the 1960s and lasting until the early 1980s
, and finally, M. Sweeting's Chinese phase in the years of her retirement in the late 1980s and early 1990s, involving frequent trips to China as well as reflection and comparison. Her work during these phases provides a pivotal link between many different

Cultivated plants as indicators in the reconstruction of the progression of settlement in Oceania, The example of the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)
plants. The present article deals with the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). A close examination proves that the sweet potato was transferred from America to Oceania. But the plant first appears in Oceania considerably after the first period of settlement
of the sweet potato does establish the existence of contacts between Oceania and South America in the pre-European period. (Revue).

Soil respiration and soil microbial biomass after fire in a sweet chestnut forest in southern Switzerland
The effects of 2 fire intensities on soil microbial biomass and soil respiration were measured in a field-scale experiment on a sweet chestnut forest slope in St. Antonino, southern Switzerland. 20 hours after a higher intensity fire on a slope

This paper explores the complex role of drinking in Sweet Home Farm (an informal settlement) through an examination of its contextual setting and its spatial characteristics, notably on the positioning of shebeens within an unregulated space
. Through a series of case studies it is possible to reflect upon the role and impact of shebeens on people living in Sweet Home Farm, both in terms of providing space for socialisation and in supporting diverse cultures of drinking and business forms
