Overall, the results strongly indicate that geomorphic histories of the mountain fronts and overarching controls of their long-term evolution were different. Morphometric properties and landform features, if considered in isolation and without statistical treatment, appear to be ambiguous in interpretation....
Mountain ranges emerged as further hot spots of change with generally decreased biome stability and partly lower CO2 uptake. This may be mainly attributed to increasing temperatures, which could trigger altitudinal shifts of biomes. Overall, considering the high fragmentation of forest landscapes of ...
versus regions where the arrival of agriculture constitutes an abrupt subsistence change in the archaeological record. Absolute chronologies and genetic data appear to show that the first farmers migrated into areas of the central Mediterranean that were unoccupied...
Williams are thanked for their attempts to date monazite and xenotime. M. Button and D. Arkinstall helped with ICPMS and EMPA work, respectively. This contribution benefited from the comments of two anonymous reviewers and the editorial guidance of Associate Editor Dr. Richard Palin....
The turning point in 1998 was also identified after applying the piecewise regression method to the NDVI time series. Before the turning point, the spatial mean of growing season NDVI on Tianshan Mountain increased significantly by 0.002 a-1 (p < 0.01). Areas with greening trends accounted for...
As a worker at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado, I’m extremely impressed with the level of attention to detail in enclosures and variety of animals in this (comparatively) tiny zoo. So many exotic birds! They’ve done a wonderful job of working w...
Time scale of an early to mid-Paleozoic orogenic cycle of the long-lived Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Inner Mongolia of China: implications for continental growth. Lithos 101, 233–259. [56] Jian, P., Liu, D., Kr€oner, A., Windley, B.F., Shi, Y.R., Zhang, W., Zhang, F....
The northern slopes of the Voudochi mountain range were likely occupied in the Middle to Late Helladic periods—the sites have remained poorly known—but changes in regional land use, as previously forested land was turned to agriculture, likely led to increased erosion, especially as this ...
The results from all Stage 1 and 2 models are presented based on leave-one-site-out cross-validation (LOSO CV), where R2, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Bias (MAB) represent the statistics based on observed (from left out site) versus predicted (from model on remaining...
On the east and south Central Asia is bounded by the western Altai and other high mountain ranges extending into Iran, Afghanistan, and western China. Central Asia experiences very dry climatic conditions, and inadequate precipitation has led to heavy dependence on the Syr Darya and Amu Darya ...
