In addition to the world climatic mapping program, CSIRO has developed more detailed climatic mapping programs for a wide range of regions, including Africa, mainland South-East Asia, and Latin America, as well as for individual countries, including Australia, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Tha...
The issues considered under sub-theme 1.2 included the potential of the various agricultural production systems in the various agro-ecological regions of Africa; the policies needed to increase not only the level but also the effectiveness of investment in the agricultural sector (e.g., absorptive ...
By grouping factor scores using a distance statistic, South Africa is separately divided into 8 and 19 climatic regions. The results are compared with Jackson's (1951) classification of the climates of South Africa.doi:10.1080/03736245.1974.10559527Preston-Whyte...
Coherence in responses across taxa and geographical regions, via global meta-analyses, also supports the notion of climate change as a potential primary causal agent. Table 16.3. Summary of Lines of Evidence for the the Potential Effects of Climate Change in South American Sandy-Beach Communities ...
Zone III experiences high temperatures and low humidity, typical of desert and semi-arid regions. For stability testing, the conditions are set at 30°C with 35% RH, reflecting the challenging dry and hot environment. Geographically, this includes large parts of North Africa, the Middle East, ...
This paper examines the geological, geomorphological, climatic and environmental conditions that could have determined hominin transit from their motherland in the East Africa Rift Valley toward the circummediterranean regions or Arabian Peninsula. For their choice between these two alternatives, the Danakil...
In general, the equatorial(赤道附近的)soil is poor: forests can exist in these regions only because they are part of a balanced cycle. All that the forest produces is returned to the forest. The organic matter that falls from the trees constitutes the humus(腐殖土)that the forest requires....
The data suggest that meteoric water of the earlier, more humid climate was 2-4 per mil lower in 18O content than modern waters of these regions.doi:10.1038/267137a0T E CerlingR L HayJ R O'NeilNatureCerling, T. E., Hay, R. L. and O'Neil, J. R. 1977. Isotopic evidence for ...
Evidence is also presented for climate changes which may have been associated with the rise and fall of Aksum, Ethiopia's first great civilisation. Introduction Lake basins across the arid, semi-arid and subtropical regions of Africa offer the potential to reconstruct records of continental climatic...
Climate change has impacted crop production and food security in regions of smallholder dominance (Eissler et al., 2019; Hussain et al., 2019). Crop responses to climate variability and change are variable but have mostly been detrimental (Krishnan et al., 2011; Lobell et al., 2007). Show...
