Nighttime population is decreasing in the central part of Tokyo and because of daily migration the inhabitants of the suburbs are losing their feeling of being citizens of the large city. The A. proposes four types of inhabitants. - (SGA)
A review of pedogenic zonation in well-drained soils of the Southern Circumpolar Region
The objectives of this paper are : 1) to summarize data for major soils, in particular the well-drained or zonal soils| 2) to examine soil-forming processes along a bioclimatic gradient| 3) to refine Tedrow's (1977) pedologic zones| and 4
Innis made a remarkable contribution to geographic thought and to social science epistemology, intertwinning their respective biases and suggesting the mutual benefit that these two fields can being to each other.
The A. singles out three main types of Man's geochemical impact : 1) indirect change in the natural geochemical processes| 2) direct technogenic migration resulting in the extraction of chemical elements and compounds in some areas and their being
The data currently used to assess the emergence of local deficits are criticized as being inaccurate or belated. The range of strategies for coping with food deficits used by farmers and herders in rural Africa offers an alternative set
In contrast to the implicit determinism found in much research, the new locational possibilities being created by a reorganisation of service production within both private business and the public sector are emphasised. The present phase offers

This article is very informative on current production, marketing and consumption patterns. It offers many details on the cultivation of tea in Iran's Caspian provinces, as well as on subsequent handling, shipping and distribution. Particularly
This review considers the origin, chemical composition and structure of colour-forming bodies, paying particular attention to the role of organic iron complexes, as well as considering the contribution of reservoir and catchment hydrological
This paper analyses some major practical as well as theoretical issues in connection with regularities and trend of changes on allocation of industry with the aid of quantitative methods.
This paper recommends use of the Thompson and Campbell (1979) modification of the basic Keulegan flow resistance equation because it fits the data as well as any other, whilst covering a more comprehensive range of flow conditions.
, and of the prerequisites for different forms of gully erosion. Part II contains a report on the result of the inventory, with references to the maps in appendice. Six areas are appointed as being of primary interest for environmental protection.
This chapter has shown that knowledge of gully typology, as well as of factors controlling gully development, is crucial for erosion risk mapping as well as for selecting and applying gully prevention and control measures. Contrary to interrill
Magnetostratigraphic studies of Pliocene-Pleistocene continental deposits on the Plateau de Perrier and in the Le Puy-en-Velay basin, as well as in the Riez-Valensole basin, provide decisive reference dating of several well-known fossil-bearing
