Micro-climatic determination of vegetation patterns along topographical, altitudinal, and oceanic-continental gradients in the high mountains of Norway
On altitudinal land use zonation of the Hengduan Mountain Region in Southwestern China in Land use in China.
The national vertical zonation provides the basis for the altitudinal distribution of land use. Two types of agricultural districts can be roughly identified : the valley and basin district, and the valley and mountain district. The natural
Precipitation, Interception, and soil Moisture Variability along an Alpine Altitudinal Gradient in the Norwegian Mountains
Investigation of alpine precipitation, interception and soil moisture were conducted on hilltops along an altitudinal gradient in the Norwegian mountains to obtain fundamental knowledge with regard to the impacts of climate change in future
Altitudinal trends of talus-derived lobate rock glaciers on Disko, central West Greenland
Talus-derived lobate (TDL) rock glaciers follow the altitudinal trend of the equilibrium line (ELA) on contemporary glaciers, and based on an analysis of a cross-section, North Disko, it is suggested that the vertical distance between the zone
Altitudinal vegetation belts of Japan with special reference to climatic conditions
Contrastes de climat et de végétation entre le versant de la mer du Japon et le versant pacifique du pays. Types biologiques des genres Sasa et Sasamorpha en relation avec les conditions climatiques. Profil altitudinal des ceintures de végétation
Erodibility and runoff-infiltration characteristics of volcanic ash soils along an altitudinal climosequence in the Ecuadorian Andes
The aim of this research was to study erodibility and runoff-infiltration characteristics of volcanic ash soils of a climate-induced altitudinal Entisols-Inceptisols-Andisols sequence on the slopes of a volcanic peak in the Andes of northern Ecuador
Differences in exposure and altitudinal limits as climatic indicators in a profile from Western Himalaya to Tian Shan
Five mountain ranges were chosen for a numerical determination of exposure differences for vegetation as well as for the determination of altitudinal limits of periglacial landforms (Northern Tian Shan, Southern and Central Tian Shan, Western Kunlun
, Western Karakoram, North-Western Himalaya). No major floristic relationship between the different mountain ranges was found. The altitudinal differentiation indicates a distinct change of humidity from the arid centre with its elevated position
Thermal differentiation of winters in the Carpathian Mountains altitudinal profile during the period 1961/62-1990/91
This paper attempts an evaluation of winter thermal differentiation in the Carpathian altitudinal profile in relation to some external and internal factors of the montane climatic system. Mean monthly, mean daily and daily maximum air temperature
were taken, for 3 stations representing different altitudinal climatic zones, in the period 1961/62-1990/91. The variability of the dates of winter commencement and end, winter duration and thermal indices were analysed, as was the relation between
Altitudinal alteration of the morphological systems in the Rio Checras basin of the Peruvian Andes

This article contains preliminary results of the field studies on the altitudinal alteration of geomorphological features and processes as a reflection of the Quaternary events. The huge stabilized landslides are the main feature of the slope
that rocks near the limits of altitudinal zones are dated with much more serious errors than is the case for those in the central part of an altitudinal zone. This paper therefore discusses a new lichenometric curve defining thallus growth directly
palcothermometer. If no other errors were involved, the regular altitudinal distribution of genera in the flora of tropical East Africa would permit paleotemperature estimates with 95% confidence limits of 1.2C.
In this part of Chile, altitudinal belts changed their position vertically during the Upper Quaternary as humidity changed. Present soils are relicts of the humid Late Glacial and a humid Holocene climate optimum.―(DWG)
Review of why a bronze plaque in honor of Alexander von Humboldt was affixed to the north wall of the stone pyramid for Simón Bolívar on the Andean mountain Chimborazo. There von Humboldt developed his ideas on the altitudinal arrangements
