Concepts of equilibrium and evolution in geomorphology : the model of branch systems
The objectives of this paper are : 1) to review the definition and use of equilibrium concepts in geomorphology| 2) to examine how concepts of system evolution and historical constraint have been incorporated into geomorphology| 3) to discuss how
of equilibrium and evolution, which will integrate, and hence provide a perspective on historical and non-historical views of geomorphic systems.
Problems and approaches in Historical Geography of Global Environmental Change in Global Change.
This paper introduces some problems and approaches for studies of environmental changes over last millenia, centuries and decades. Historical Geography integrates the historical typology of human impact with studies on anthropogenic evolution
of landscapes and geobiosphere functioning. These heterogeneous aspects of the Earth System transformation are combined around the notion of Noosphere as the new stage in Biosphere evolution under human impact.
The historical progress of the evolution of lake Tung-ting.
Examination of historical records, geological and archaeological literature, and satellite photographs provides an evolutionary picture of Tung-ting lake outlined with the aid of 7 maps in series. Variations in the water surface area, ascribed
to uplifts and down warping, are traced through the incipient stages, the neolithic and historic dynasties. Accelerated silting since the 19th century causes reduction in the size of the lake to about half its maximum. The extent of silting in the last 30

This paper, a companion to a previous one on lake evolution in China during the past 30,000 yr based on geological data, focuses on lake evolution over the past 3 000 yr, based on historical sources, and its possible implications for environmental
Historical changes in atmospheric trace components in Evolution des atmosphères planétaires et climatologie de la terre=Evolution of planetary atmospheres and climatology of the earth.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the evolution of historical biogeography during the first decade of the 21st century and to identify major trends for the near future. The AA. constructed a database containing all articles which dealt
with historical biogeography published in the Journal of Biogeography during 1998–2010. Their results indicated that historical biogeography is going through a growth period. Most of the AA. worked in Europe or North America. The Palearctic was the most analyzed
%), with cladistic biogeography and event-based methods at 6% each. Moreover, some of the future challenges that historical biogeography faces are summarized.
Translation of the book by the Hungarian-born American professor of zoology and ornithology, enlarged and improved. Attention is given to the ecological, historical and evolutional implications of animal distribution. Geographical distribution
is the result of the evolutional unity of animal and its environment. The principles of dynamic zoogeography are supported by ample evidence. (DLO).
