Moisture is an important factor that facilitates weathering and leaching.
High landform induced by prolonged volcanic activities facilitates weathering and denudation.
Good weather may facilitate outdoor mapping activities, bad weather the use of aerial images.
Moreover, urban planners in all jurisdictions should take into account the interaction between their location-specific weather patterns and the different types of urban design in developing neighbourhoods that moderate the influence of adverse weather and facilitate the influence of favourable weather on active living in children.
We also considered that nonspatial variables such as weather may facilitate predators in finding nests because weather factors such as temperature, moisture, and air movements influence scent production as well as detection (Gutzwiller 1990).
For instance, in a temperate sub-oceanic climate, the rather stable thermal regime and balanced water availability of medium to high amounts of precipitation not only secure plant-available water on most soil types throughout the growing period but facilitate decomposition and weathering throughout the year.
This constraint can be overcome by generating synthetic weather records, which allow correction for interannual variation and facilitate statistical evaluation of weather records [7].
Additionally, some predators use olfaction to locate nests (Storaas 1988), which can be facilitated by favorable weather conditions (Conover 2007; Moynahan et al. 2007; Conover et al. 2010; Dritz 2010).
The original purpose of the service was to facilitate the collection of weather data from military installations located across the country and warn locations along the Great Lakes and marine coasts of the approach of storms.
Therefore, we considered both spatial and nonspatial attributes on nest survival because spatial attributes (e.g., cover, topography, and anthropogenic features) can either aid or hinder predators with detection of nests while nonspatial variables (e.g., weather) may facilitate predators in finding nests through olfaction.
