history of the fauna and flora of the British Isles as a subject for its new volume, the third of a series devoted each to the treatment of a separate biogeographical problem; the two previous volumes dealt with the biogeography of Corsica and of the high mountains of the world respectively.. 1931 Nature Publishing Groupdoi:10.1038/1...
flora represents all plants occurring in a specific geographic region or time. When we talk about flora alone, we mean two different things. One meaning of flora pertains to all species of plants found in a geographical area while another meaning of the term pertains to a book ...
Past climatic change influenced broader socio-environmental systems, in some cases acting as a driver of population collapse, large-scale abandonment, migration, and socio-political upheaval. These deep time data illustrate the importance of understanding Pleistocene-Holocene human-environmental interactions,...
This article is a geographical overview of the Avatar World. For the map, see Map of the World of Avatar. The world is divided into multiple landmasses, islands, and seas with a unique physical geography, landmarks, climates, and demography. For most of
In particular, clogging of the riverbed by the formation of hydrous ferric oxides has a negative effect on the flora and fauna of the affected rivers (MacCausland and McTammany, 2007; McKnight and Feder, 1984; Scullion and Edwards, 1980). Toxic metal ions are an additional risk for aquatic...
Relationships between island area and life-history traits of the rice frog in the Zhoushan Archipelago. (2a): egg size (r = −0.939, p < 0.001); (2b) tadpole size (r = 0.927, p < 0.001); (2c) hatching success (r = 0.933, p < 0.001). Full size im...
Scotland's climate is as varied as its landscapes, with regions experiencing different weather patterns due to geographical features. A climate map of Scotlandhelps in understanding these variations, highlighting areas of rainfall, temperature ranges, and seasonal changes across the country. Understanding...
Therefore, the flora and fauna of cities are markedly similar in different parts of the world despite geographical and climatic differ- ences (McKinney 2006). The alternation of TLL and TCL has the potential to successfully resist this trend and increase the biological diversity of urban ...
