Patterns of topographic change in sub-humid badlands determined by high resolution multi-temporal topographic surveys
TLS-surveys were obtained in an experimental sub-humid badland located in the Villacarli Catchment, Central Pyrenees, Iberian Peninsula. Data analyses were conducted on 2 temporal scales : (a) 5 rainfall events and (b)3 long term (spaced over an annual

Vegetation type affects soil enzyme activities and microbial functional diversity following re-vegetation of a severely eroded red soil in sub-tropical China
in the west, but the pattern of ecosystem vulnerability would not be altered by climate change, which rises from southeast to northeast gradually. Increase in ecosystem vulnerable degree would mainly concentrate in temperate humid/sub-humid region and warm
temperate humid/sub-humid region. Decrease in ecosystem vulnerable degree may emerge in northwestern arid region and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region. In the near-term scale, natural ecosystem in China would be slightly affected by climate change. However

, the particularly oversized domestic roles of encumbered orphans against a backdrop of extremely deprived material circumstances and weak kin ties propelled them into prolonged ganyu contracts and compelled them to more readily concede to sexual demands ‘imposed
While decentralisation, properly understood, implies that sub-national government involves devolu-tion of authority over revenues, recent experience from Peru suggests that the canon system tends to create perverse incentives in encouraging open
and resource access but not control area. Categorising their non-territorial expression into persuasive and aggressive forms, it provides a new platform for deconstructing farmer-herder relationships in the West African sub-region.
This paper explores the relationship between fiscal federalism, understood as institutionalized regional economic self-rule, and convergence in regional per capita incomes. Multilevel spatial regressions on primary sub-national jurisdictions
