Morgan, J. A. et al. C4 grasses prosper as carbon dioxide eliminates desiccation in warmed semi-arid grassland.
At the same time, drying and warming trends were associated with alluviation of streams and general desiccation in southern Europe and North Africa.
Collection Container: Submit swabs in sterile, sealed vials with several drops of saline added, to prevent desiccation in in commercial virus transport media.
Dr. Raxworthy said that at about 3 inches long, F. labordi is the smallest of the region's chameleons and may be less able to compete for food or more prone to desiccation in the dry season.
This is a country that hurtles from winter chill to summer desiccation in roughly the time it takes Iraqis to brew their national beverage – a glassful of sugar dissolved in two teaspoons of tea.
A dried soil layer (DSL) is generally formed in the soil profile at a particular depth owing to serious soil desiccation in water-limited ecosystems.
An independent group of researchers working in Puglia believe other factors are causing desiccation in the region's trees, and that the most effective way of combating it lies in a natural remedy used by generations of local farmers.
The wet weight (W) of the left lung was measured using an electronic scale, followed by desiccation in an oven at 65 °C for 48 h to determine the dry weight (D).
In this context, food dehydration is revisited from the perspective of recent advances in food materials science, knowledge from desiccation in Nature, microstructural probing, novel processing technologies and deeper insights into drying mechanisms, among others.
There has been little rain in Venezuela in the past three years, and a crippling deficit last year in particular a predictable effect of El Niño, the global climate cycle that periodically warms parts of the Pacific Ocean, causing deluges in Texas and Florida, warm weather in eastern Canada, and desiccation in Indonesia and parts of Latin America.
Thus, chemical reactions leading to cementation can prevent self-sealing of fissures caused by desiccation in the early stage of maturation of the buffer and increase its stiffness so that critical stress conditions may be generated in the canisters.
