From a strictly ecological point of view, the production of the volume has presumably stripped the planet of a small wood's worth of trees and its distribution has dispersed the usual quantity of greenhouse gases into the biosphere.
Large domestic and native ungulates have the potential to disperse large quantities of seeds throughout the landscape.
Just like their ancestors, African elephants disperse large quantities of seed over long distances: in Congo, scientists found forest elephants disperse 345 seeds per day from 96 species, typically more than 1km from parent trees.
What she didn't yet know was that at 1 23am a reactor at the nearby nuclear plant had exploded, dispersing immense quantities of radioactive fuel into the air, contaminating everything around it.
The Pacific Ocean is able to absorb, dilute, and disperse large quantities of human-generated wastes, but the increasing pace of economic activity particularly the transport of crude oil and other hazardous substances has led to measurable levels of pollution in some nearshore waters, especially close to ports and large coastal cities.
No common indoor source of exposure was found, and the initial hypothesis was that the outbreak originated from environmental contamination of an unknown source capable of producing and dispersing large quantities of aerosols contaminated with L. pneumophila.
The study hypothesis was that the outbreak had its origin in environmental contamination from cooling towers or other installations capable of producing and dispersing large quantities of aerosols potentially contaminated by legionellae.
These propagules are generated and dispersed in large quantities from asexual microstructures called conidiophores.
The dry polymers were dispersed in small quantities into the vortex of the GLY solution.
Thus, as the result of multiple cycles of γ-α-γ transformations in the reverted austenite in iron-nickel alloy, the dislocations density increased by three orders, nanoscale level fragments (nanofragmentation) with additional small-angle subboundaries were formed, a quantity of dispersed grains having high-angle boundaries increased, and deformation twins came into existence.
At low abundance, flying foxes still consumed relatively large amounts of fruit (high quantity) but dispersed little away from the crown (low quality).
