China's regional transport dominance : density, proximity, and accessibility
This paper defines transport dominance from three aspects: quality, quantity, and advantage, measured by density, proximity, and accessibility indices. County is the basic unit for analysis. The results reveal: (1) Transport dominance statistically
follows a partial normal distribution; 2) Transport dominance is spatially unevenly distributed, with values decreasing gradually from the coastal area to the inland area.

The Coastal Platform is the dominant geomorphic feature of the southern Cape, south of the Cape Fold Belt. The southern Cape coast has served, no-shore as well as off-shore, as an important sediment sink, since the mid-Cretaceous
The study was conducted at the Southern part of West Bank, near Hebron city, during 2005, 2006 and 2007. Five treatments were implemented; forests planted with P. halepensis (F), natural vegetation dominated by S. spinosum (W.S), natural vegetation
. The results indicate that forests and natural vegetation dominated by S. spinosum prevent or decrease the risk of runoff and soil erosion. In conclusion, the removal of S. spinosum and forest trees as a means to improve rangeland productivity increases runoff
, geology, soil and topography. Sediment yield at catchment scale per unit area, was found to be 3-10 times higher than soil loss measured in erosion plots. A stepwise regression showed that the dominant factors explaining sediment yield differences
at catchment scale in this volcanic landscape were a particular lithology (Old Andesites) and slope angle followed by the silt fraction of the top soil. The quantification of land use effects on dominant erosive processes such as river bank and river bed
