Still, this scenario is unlikely given the company's current awareness of divergent vs. convergent forest blocks, its pre-emptive modification of seeding rates, and active mitigation of 'weedy' species proliferation as part of contemporary rehabilitation practices.
Remote sensing observations over areas of the former Soviet Union suggest that there may be important ongoing influences on forested landscapes resulting from divergent land use and forest management associated with the Soviet versus post-Soviet eras.
Mitchard, E. T. A. et al. Markedly divergent estimates of Amazon forest carbon density from ground plots and satellites.
Like fairy-tale siblings evicted from their parental home, the craftsman and the designer set out on divergent paths through the forest of modernity.
This species is habitat-restricted and has morphologically divergent populations in epigean (forest) and hypogean (karst) habitats.
carapaces from subsections of sediment cores from two environmentally divergent lakes; a humic boreal forest lake in eastern Finland (past 1500 years) and a clear-water mountain lake in the Austrian Alps (past 300 years).
The new finds, say experts, are the first direct evidence that some early forests contained widely divergent types of intermingling plants and weren't just groupings of single-species patches.
Despite this difference both approaches revealed highly similar biodiversity patterns, with species richness being equal in primary and secondary forests, but with divergent species communities in different habitats.
Our findings suggest that inputting both qualitative and quantitative data obtained by participatory methods into Ostrom's framework can help diagnose territories with divergent landscapes, and thereby inform both forest conservation science and local land management.
And neither is he attempting to put them all together in a soup-like fusion: instead, he's allowing the different worlds of Brazil - its different peoples, its wildly divergent landscapes, its unknowable richness of forest, of animal and plant life - to coexist alongside and on top of one another, sometimes in harmony, but often in conflict and irresolution, too.
