Translation: From what I've seen so far, my modest budget limits me to places that are a little hardscrabble, a little rough-hewn, a little needful of significant upkeep of their aging septic systems, coarse landscapes and, invariably, spring-fed water.
Set in 1989, Rent portrays a coarse urban landscape that reads essentially like an unsophisticated rough draft of the contemporary New York.
Losses were higher in years with rainy autumns and in the coarse-loamy landscape because soil shrinkage upon drying improved on-farm soil tuber separation in the fine-loamy landscape.
These results should be useful for inferring rates of hillslope denudation and sediment flux from topography, or for coarse-scale landscape evolution simulations, in that first-order hillslope properties can be calculated without explicit modeling of individual hillslopes.
The hydrologic controls on the interaction between a shallow lake and a groundwater flow system have been determined for a coarse-textured landscape on the Boreal Plains of Canada.
Although the range maps are convenient accompaniments for species accounts in field guides, they are too coarse for landscape-level conservation planning.
For example, when Fahrig et al. compared fine-grain and coarse-grain landscapes in France (that is, landscapes with smaller fields and shorter distance between hedgerows versus landscapes with larger fields but similar crop types) they found that carabid beetle species richness accumulated faster in the fine-grain landscapes.
Here, we aimed at identifying the role of fencerows and crop heterogeneity in defining arthropod diversity in intensively farmed, coarse-grain landscapes.
We conclude that there are strong regional differences between coarse-grained (landscape- to regional-scale) diversity components of the flora in the Alps and the Scandes mountain ranges, but that these differences do not necessarily penetrate to the finest-grained (plot-scale) diversity component, at least not on acidic soils.
