the A. reviews published tropical rain-forest research that has focused on the time dimension from late 1992 until early 1994.
An appreciation of time on a variety of scales may help explain the complexity of tropical rain forests and provide a frame of reference to consider the consequences of anthropogenic deforestation and global climatic change on this biome. Here

Synoptic data associated with a sample of 554 heavy rainfall events is utilized to carry out a trajectory analysis that identifies the movements of moisture towards region of heavy rain. Both seasonal and regional variations are found
in the moisture trajectories associated with heavy rain events occurring in three regions in the Appalachian study area.
The purpose of this paper is to report the 87Sr/86Sr ratios in rain-water, stream-water, soils and rocks in two Scottish catchments and to relate these data to mineral weathering in the soils as the first stage in a more detailed study being carried
Information on rainfall intensity is regarded as one of the essential factors for predicting soil erosion. Since many sites lack information regarding the intensity of rains, estimates have to be made. The study investigates the relationship between
The Mladotice lake is the four largest and also the youngest lake in the country. It is located on the Mladotice stream, the left bank tributary of the Střela River in the west Bohemia. Extreme rains in May 1872 and the construction of the railway
The main substantive theme of last year's review of developments in the study of environmental issues was air pollution, embracing brief updates on acid rain, radon gas, ozone depletion and greenhouse gases. This year the focus shifts away from
The aim of this study was to obtain the dissolution rates of common rock-forming minerals in pure and slighly acid aerated water without use of buffers. The use of low pH values appears justified since acid rain as well as biogenic weathering due
