Tropical biome classifications are mainly based on climate, the structure and function of plant communities, and soil type, with climate being the most frequently used criterion. The most common climate classification systems are the Kppen-Geiger system, which is composed of 5 groups, and Holdridge...
These processes are inter-related: For example, dust is produced on the land and blown up into the atmosphere where it affects the amount of sunlight falling on Earth. Dust can also be dissolved in the ocean, where it affects marine life. This in turn changes both the amount of carbon ...
The Community Land Model (CLM), which is the land component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), has been developed and expanded over the last decade to provide an increasingly comprehensive platform that researchers can use to address these types of questions. More explicitly, CLM has ...

Location, habitat and population size: The two localities of Anthracocystis grodzinskae are located on the northern slopes of the Atakora Mountains in northern Benin, both within the Sudanian savanna biome, containing also Sahelian elements. The direct distance between both localities is 1.15 km...
The origins of the main groups of Lycinus are also discussed in that light. Results Lycinus lagigliai sp. nov. and Lycinus nevadoensis sp. nov. are described. The distribution of these species comprised western Argentina at Mendoza province. The cladistic reanalysis showed Lycinus as ...
Annual temperature ranges are generally smaller than those found in marine west coast climates, since locations on the western sides of continents are not well positioned to receive the coldest polar air, which develops over land rather than over the ocean. Mediterranean climates also tend to be ...
