This question will be addressed using a limited area model (RAMS) coupled to a detailed land-surface model (SWAPS) to quantify the contribution of land-use and topography to rainfall patterns above the forested and elevated Veluwe area located in the centre of The Netherlands with a maximum ...
Plain – a flat or gently rolling area of land with only moderate changes in elevation. Plateau –considered an elevated plain, plateaus are a flat highland with one steep face. The Tibetan Plateau, the Andean Plateau, and the Colorado Plateau are examples of plateaus found around the world. ...
Land consolidation also makes it possible to subdivide plots into new forms for farmers or landowners interested in having small parcels where agri-environmental and climatic packages or organic farming with maintained elevated baulks can be practiced [13]. The size, shape, and layout of plots ...
A flat-topped peak gives researchers a chance to identify new species and unlock secrets of evolution. The biggest challenge: getting there.
While the net area of temperate forests is stable, net productivity is increasing, so they are currently a C sink (they sequester rather than emit C) of about 0.2–0.4Pg of C per year, accounting for 37% of global C uptake (Fahey et al., 2010). Annual C sequestration rates have been...
In subject area: Engineering Boulder clay: sometimes called till, this is soil of a glacial origin consisting of a very wide range of particle sizes, from finely ground rock flour to boulders. From: Dynamics and Advanced Motion Control of Off-Road UGVs, 2020 ...

Belonged to the continental monsoon zone with a semi-arid climate, the annual average precipitation and maximum evaporation of the New Area are 478 mm and 1762 mm, respectively. The terrain is relatively flat overall, slightly higher in the west and north, and lower in the east and south. ...
The age of the ice is a good proxy for ice thickness, and ice thickness or volume is a far better metric than area for evaluating the health of the ice. Notice that the last remaining area of thick, old ice, is along the north shore of Greenland and the northwest shores of the ...
the area of the Joulter Cays shoal complex off the northeast coast of Andros Island demonstrates Holocene carbonate tidal sands, including ooids, peloids, and skeletal fragments, which havefossilequivalents in the geological record. Third, the Three Creeks area of northwest Andros Island shows extens...
