Spatial representations of habitat in competition-colonization models
Ecological models with species differentiated by competition and colonization traits analyze landscape patterns in two phases (habitat and nonhabitat). The consequences of representing landscape patterns as a continuous surface of habitat quality
Could old colonization zones in the urbanizing and industrializing countries of Latin America become sites for a tropical forest transition in which reforestation becomes more prevalent than deforestation ? The AA. try to answer this question
The AA. measured the effect of wet meadow vegetation on the bank strength and failure mechanics of a meandering montane meadow stream, the South Fork of the Kern River at Monache Meadow, in California's Sierra Nevada. Streambanks colonized by wet
graminoid meadows vegetation were on average 5 times stronger than those colonized by dry xeric meadow and scrub vegetation. The measurements show that strength is correlated with vegetation density indicators, including stem counts.
this ecotone zone. Within Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, they characterize the regeneration status of tree species at and near the northern limit of sugar maple, and identify temporal colonization patterns of dominant tree species to determine
if colonization is continuous or relates to specific episodes (triggered by climatic or disturbance events).
with notions of discourse derived from Foucault in constructing a geographic theory of globally hegemonic discursive formations colonizing alternative, counterhegemonic discourses.
on a microtidal rocky coast using a range of microscopic techniques. Specifically, it invesigates the presence and roles of colonizing microflora in influencing weathering and erosion rates at meso-nanoscales.
Le comportement hydrologique du Colon et de l'Euron qui drainent 2 petits bassins versants, situés de part et d'autre de la Moselle à Charmes, permet de proposer un modèle de fonctionnement hydrique des Marnes du Keuper et des calcaires du
