Back to the future : biogeographical responses to climate change
upon to provide a key to the future. Back to the future has become a working methodology. But with global warming now quite well advanced, it is now possible to observe its actual biogeographic outcomes.
Back to the future. Nieuwe functies voor landelijke gebieden in Europa
Back to the future. New functions for rural areas in Europe
, the accessibility and the landscape attractiveness appear to be important indicators of the demand for new functions. Such qualities are often rooted in long historical processes ; so the search of new functions means back into the future. Four case studies : North
Major evidence on the driving mechanism of the Tyrrenian-Apenines arc-trench-back system from CROP seismic data
The results of deep seismic reflection exploration in the central mediterranean region (CROP Project) provide basic insights into the driving mechanism of the Tyrrenian-Apenines arc-trench-back system. In particular, such information clearly
indicates that during the formation of the Tyrrenian back arc basin the migrating orogenic wedges (Arc) and the Adriatic domain underwent strong shortening, that is not consistent with the implications of the driving mechanism which is generally invoked
The spread of Spartina on a tidal water divide has been followed in subsequent aerial photos. Spartina first appeared in the area in 1964, it spread rapidly to 1976. From 1976 to 1988 a significant die-back is observed. This die-back was more than
recovered in 1995. The die-back period had a number of cold winters, which points to the role of ice in the Spartina die-back. In comparison with the local tidal range, possible future planting of Spartina in salt marsh management strategies should take
