Even the ground component of Desert Storm — VII Corps advancing kilometre by kilometre across a very broad front — indicated that we were not ready to conduct a freewheeling, unpredictable campaign.
The potential for sequestering carbon in above-ground components of agroforestry systems is estimated to be 2.1 χ 10 9 MgC yr-1 in tropical and 1.9 χ 10 9 MgC yr-1 in temperate biomes (Oelbermann et al., 2004).
However, for newly forested areas, factors including planting density, mortality and growth rates (of both the above- and below-ground components of trees) are important in determining the length of the period (years) of vulnerability of planted stands to the initiation of shallow landslides, particularly during their formative years.
Error bars represent one standard error of the mean; bars with different letters were significantly different (P < 0.001) Fig. 6 Plant biomass above- (dark bars) and below-ground (light bars) in Year 3. Error bars represent one standard error of the mean for each of above- and below-ground components of biomass.
For both the above- and below-ground components of C, there are also publicly available resources that assist in C accounting and on-farm management.
The mean carbon concentrations in above-ground components for all of the ecosystems under evaluation are presented in Fig. 1.
The LFR ground component consisted of a network of radio transmission stations which were strategically located around the country, often near larger airports, approximately 200 miles apart.
The F-MAN Consortium identified the requirements, designed the architecture, specified and developed the on-board and ground fixed components of an IT-based system enabling enhanced fleet management of freight railcars and introducing asset management in the process of the international transport chain.
Both the flight and ground control components of the experiment were grown in specialized growth chamber units developed by Kennedy Space Center referred to as the ABRS Advanced Biological Research Systemm) growth chamber [ 30, 58, 59].
Figure 7 The annual beam, sky-diffuse, and ground-reflected components of the diurnal insolation.
If I know where the next fight's going to be, then what I want to do is actually soften it with strikes ahead of the ground component," Lt Gen Charles Q Brown Jr told reporters on Thursday.
