Frederick E. Clements is known as a key figure in the development of plant succession concepts but earlier arguments over the spontaneous generation of plants illustrate the critical relationship between theory and observation. The observations
Tectonic control on the sedimentary architecture of Early Mesozoic mixed siliciclastic-carbonate Pseudoverrucano successions (southern Tuscany, Italy)
The mixed siliciclastic-carbonate successions of Early Mesozoic age exposed in the Pseudoverrucano tectonic units, along the coast of southern Tuscany (Montebrandoli and Punta delle Rocchette, Early Liassic) and in the Monti dell’Uccellina
(Porticciolo di Cala di Forno and Salto del Cervo, Late Triassic) are characterized by fossil assemblages suggesting a close relationship with the coeval, mainly carbonate successions of the Tuscan Series while the depositional features are completely different
siliciclastic-carbonate Pseudoverrucano successions argues for a coastal sedimentation on narrow shelves delimited by active, fault-bounded highs, representing the landward extension of the epicontinental/pericontinental pelagic basins that from late Triassic
Estonian family farms in transition : a study of intangible assets and gender issues in generational succession
pesant sur la succession des générations. L'exploitation familiale et les transferts de foncier ont eu un rôle persistant dans la société estonienne, et même au cours de la période soviétique. Même si l'agriculture familiale perd de l'importance, des
responsible for the transfer of management know-how across international borders. The success of their acculturation was measured by the Goldberg’s GHQ index and satisfaction scales. Results of conducted surveys indicate that acculturation of sojourners
in Czechia was successful and proceeded approximately according to the Hofstede’s U acculturation curve. - (EN)
A research process for integrating Indigenous and scientific knowledge in cultural landscapes : principles and determinants of success in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Australia
The Cretaceous-Eocene succession of the Rocca Busambra (Western Sicily, Italy) : a patchy record on a dissected palaeostructural high
). They mainly consist of pink to greyish mudstones to packstones with abundant planktonic foraminifera and display the same lithofacies as the well known Scaglia formations, typical of the coeval Southern Alps and Apennine successions. All geometric
Distribution of soil carbon and nitrogen along a revegetational succession on the Loess Plateau of China
nitrogen (TN) in soils at depths of 0-10, 10-20, and 20-40 cm from restored grasslands of different ages. The results highlight the utility of stable isotopes in studying C and N dynamics along revegetational succession on degraded land and emphasise
In this work the AA. present the results of a stratigraphic and lithologic study of a flowstone from Tana che Urla Cave, Apuan Alps (central Italy) which grew intermittently between ca. 160 and 8 ka. The studied succession consists of an alternation
administrators' attempts to improve sulphur production through reform measures. These efforts were moderately successful, although the process was messy and inefficient.
and approaches triangulate towards a more thorough understanding of a system and will increase the probability of successful restoration. This will most likely include system-wide observation and classification married to numerical process modeling.
Apennines and is characterized by the presence of Jurassic different type successions that reflect depositional environment variability. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the Jurassic paleographic structural setting and the paleotectonic evolution
Alpine Convention, international contract for protection of the Alps, represents a framework for sustainable development in the Alps. However, success of this contract depends on implementation on local level, where spatial policies face local
Depuis 2005, le Sahel a fait face à sa 4e crise alimentaire, en sept ans. Selon E. Hazard, responsable de la campagne Cultivons d’Oxfam pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest, il ne s’agirait pas d’une succession fortuite mais bien plutôt d’un cycle pernicieux
