We used conditional Latin Hypercube sampling to select 97 locations in the Gepatsch glacier proglacial area in the west of Austria that best cover variation in soil age and topographic position.
The data cover variations in pollen deposition related to the use of different crop varieties, field sizes, field arrangements, wind directions, regional environments, and years.
Vegetation cover, tree cover and variation in canopy height were expected to decrease with built surface cover; however, only vegetation cover showed this expected trend.
Here we assess the importance of vegetation measures (percentage vegetation cover, tree canopy cover and variation in canopy height) across four taxonomic groups (bats, bees, hoverflies and birds) at multiple spatial scales (100, 250, 500, 1000 m) within a major urban area (Birmingham, the United Kingdom).
Previous studies have evaluated peak caller performance to distinguish false positives from "true" binding sites by using a manually curated collection of binding regions (and "false" enrichment sites) that cover typical variation in peak size and appearance for the TFs NRSF, SRF and MAX [ 14, 17].
Here we examine the relationship between vegetation cover and variation in monsoon rainfall, soil erosion, and fire over 7500 years in an ancient tropical landscape in the Western Ghats of India.
A trend shown in the gradient of images is the reduction in tree cover and variation in the shrub and herb layers.
As the snow cover area for both Landsat and MODIS images were found to be almost equal, the MODIS images were used for studying the snow cover area variation in the present study.
The characteristics of hot deserts include high temperatures in summer; greater evaporation than precipitation usually exacerbated by high temperatures, strong winds and lack of cloud cover; considerable variation in the occurrence of precipitation, its intensity and distribution; and low humidity.
We examined this issue by estimating how well our admixed African American sample consisting of ∼2.4 million experimentally determined and imputed genotyped SNPs covered the variation in the HapMap CEU and CHB samples.
