Many Mesolithic lakeside sites were located in transitional zones between different environments so that the inhabitants could return to a central base location, where for much of the year they lived close to predictable resources such as lake fish. However, they would exploit both forest game and...
oxyphylla showed a pattern of three disjunctive geographical centers in the eastern subregion of subtropical evergreen broad‐leaved forest region (IVA): Qinling‐Daba Mountains, Nanling Mountains and Wuyi Mountains center. Currently, the highly suitable areas concentrated in two zones div...
While any broad-scale climate change threat analysis based on SDMs like ours should be interpreted with great care, we expect more research in the future to verify our findings with more comprehensive methods across more taxa. Author contributions AX, JZ, QL collected the field data, QZ did...
Furthermore, the northern region of the BTH serves as a vital ecological functional area, fulfilling a range of essential ecological functions, including water conservation and climate regulation, that are crucial for sustaining the overall ecological balance. Regarding interactions, the implementation of...
By overlaying the shelter forests on the climatic zones, we found that 16.30 % coniferous forests, 8.21 % broadleaved forests, 2.03 % mixed conifer-broadleaved forests, and 10.86 % shrubs were not in strict accordance with the climate conditions. These results open new perspectives for potential...
More striking, however, was the broad distribution of variance in the streamwise direction (red). Spanning two orders of magnitude in n, eddies of all sizes ranging from many times the size of Bolund to sizes much smaller contribute to the total variance. The very steep nearly vertical ...
Land subsidence associated with overexploitation of aquifers is a hazard that commonly affects large areas worldwide. The Lorca area, located in southeast Spain, has undergone one of the highest subsidence rates in Europe as a direct consequence of long-
Lacquer tree and Swida macrophylla, as slightly heliophilous, were adaptable to the shady, cold and damp forest environment below the high canopy density of the natural broadleaf-conifer secondary forest, so they could distributed in almost all types of communities, with a strong ability for ...
sampled horizontally every 70 km. The volume elements capture the deep deformation that occurs by faulting, localized shear zones, or other types of thermodynamically irreversible processes. The observed velocity field can be modeled as a linear combination of slip velocity and plastic strain rate ...
Major vegetation zones of the western USA. The three case studies are in Mediterranean California rangelands, southwestern desert rangelands, and the Intermountain cold desert steppe. Full size image Background Ranching in the arid west In the arid lands of the American West, those who graze extens...
