Disadvantages are that (1) equilibrium theory assumes the storm to be of sufficient duration for the equilibrium to be reached, which is not always the case, (2) hydrodynamic conditions change during a storm, meaning the equilibrium profile changes with time as well, (3) the models are ...
The rate of river migration affects the stability of Arctic infrastructure and communities1,2 and regulates the fluxes of carbon3,4, nutrients5 and sediment6,7 to the oceans. However, predicting how the pace of river migration will change in a warming Ar
Therefore, we hypothesize(H1) that in more urbanized areas, mental models are predominantly characterized by linear thinking of coastal ecosystems, as opposed to systems thinking, where components are connected mostly by simple causal patterns. This class of mental models is associated with limited cog...

The interrill erosion rate was predicted well by a simple power function of the flow velocity ( R 2 =0.88, NSE =0.88), although this relationship lacks clear physical meaning. We also found that the interrill erosion rate increased as a power function with the runoff depth, rainfall ...
The team found the Hawaiian Islands provide an ideal environment in which to study this relationship: Theislandsare all made from the same type of bedrock, meaning they wouldn't have to account for multiple types of rock and sediment and their differences in erosion; and the islands inhabit a...
None of these indices has been found to describe dental erosion in such a way that they can be regarded as the 'gold standard' for measure- ment of erosion. A simple and standardized index that is suitable for assessment of erosion should ideally be (1) easily applica- ble in general ...
The quadratic term has a significant, negative coefficient when included in the model, meaning that the effect of SWAP on yields grows stronger as SWAP declines, which is to be expected. Table 2. Assessing the Regression Coefficient of SWAP on Yields Full size table Of the interaction terms,...
We found a tendency for gains to be proportionally higher in the Alto Paraná and Northeast forests than in other regions of the Atlantic Forest (Fig.7). These areas are within the more fragmented and disturbed regions of this biodiversity hotspot, meaning that restoration efforts there would pro...
βcan be treated as a calibration factor with a physical meaning. However, for a first-order approximation, we set a median value ofβ = 0.6 for the fraction of plastic work dissipated as heat in dynamic deformation37,38, and assume the initial energy is partitioned equally between the...
