However, a log with a larger diameter also has a larger surface area to be covered, explaining our finding that percent cover of log sections in contact with the ground decreased with diameter (Table 2).
The combination of elevation, aspect, and forest cover explained about 80 90% of the large-scale variability in snow accumulation for both years.
"The goal is not how much ground you cover," explained Isaac Greenberg, 21, a pile of well-thumbed texts at his elbow, "but how you understand it and how you incorporate it in your life".
The results show that terrain form, gully erosion, surface lithology, and land cover explain most of the variability in sediment yield among the catchments.
The cover, explained the editor, Joe Barnes, had been ripped off an early 70s Playboy.
ALS-derived canopy cover explained fairly well the variation in albedo in the visible region, but the total shortwave albedo was better predicted by ALS-derived tree height.
This study revealed that the diversity is reduced in disturbed locations by the loss of biomass and the mean percentage cover, explained by means of a multiple-stressor model which plays an important role in the macro-epiphytes' setting.
During the summer, restored stream reaches had substantially higher rates of nitrate uptake than unrestored or forested stream reaches; however, we found that variation in stream temperature and canopy cover explained 80% of the variation across streams in nitrate uptake.
"Before, I wouldn't have been out here more than five minutes without running back in for cover," explained one middle-aged woman sitting on the stoop outside her apartment.
Total plant community cover explained another 25% of pine emergence (P = 0.001; Fig. 4; Table 3).
