Although this book opens with a map of the world showing the continents divided into 10 morphoclimatic regions, this is not simply a text book on geomorphology organized climatically. Rather it is a dissertation which attempts to provide an explanation for the morphology of the earth. L. C. ...
The incidence of brucellosis was distinctly seasonal, with a high incidence in spring and summer and an average annual peak in May. The incidence rate was highest in the northern regions’ arid and continental climatic zones (1.88 and 0.47 per million people, respectively) and lowest in the ...
In ad- dition, China is located in one of the most active seismic regions of the world (Molnar and Tapponnier, 1975; Zhang et al., 2004; Wang and Shen, 2020). Frequent earthquake disasters caused great losses of people's lives and property (Ren et al., 2018; Fan et al., 2022), ...
We leveraged the remarkable genetic and geographical diversity of the Italian goat populations and performed landscape genomics analysis to disentangle the relationship between genotype and environment, finding 64 SNPs intercepting genomic regions linked to growth, circadian rhythm, fertility, and inflammatory...
the city over the last two decades, with the UHI center at Mehrabad airport expanding towards the west and southwest regions of Tehran in recent years30. However, there is a lack of a coherent plan to decentralize urban facilities from the central parts of the city. This has resulted in ...
(left projection from the North Pole; right, from the South Pole). When standardising the coordinates, thex-andy-axes represent Cartesian coordinates on the azimuthal projections; thez-axis represents the position from the equator to the poles. Most of the historical data come from regions in ...
Accelerating crop improvement in sorghum, a staple food for people in semiarid regions across the developing world, is key to ensuring global food security in the context of climate change. To facilitate gene discovery and molecular breeding in sorghum, we have characterized ∼265,000 single nucl...
several climatic changes during the Late Pleistocene–Holocene interval including rainforest regions from the Amazon and Atlantic coast, Cerrado woodlands, high altitude Campos, Campos and Araucaria forests of southern and southeastern Brazil, the Pantanal wetlands and the semi-arid Caatinga (Oliveira, ...
Climate change contributed significantly to long-term trends in grassland productivity mainly in North America, central Eurasia, central Africa, and Oceania; these regions will be more sensitive to future climate change impacts. The impacts of climate change on variability in grassland productivity were...
In response to westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific, the North China Craton experienced the uplift of an eastern coastal plateau followed by subsidence in the Early Cretaceous, which potentially drove a shift in climatic patterns. Here we use the oxygen isotope ratios of garnets from magmatic...
