The data clearly show discrepancies between the high uplands and the lowlands, demonstrating the potential hazards of extrapolating upland sequences to lowlands environments.
There is no palynologically distinct Roman period in the data, contrary to evidence from the high uplands of Exmoor that suggests a decline of the agricultural system during the immediate post-Roman period.
The use of a NTS was promising when millet was used as a cover crop; this allowed the highest upland rice yield (3.94 Mg ha−1) and did not statistically differ from plowed fallow (3.52 Mg ha−1).
A week in Obergurgl had shown us the way to the sunlit very-high-uplands of future family skiing holidays.
However, cumulative N2O net production for Edge soils was the highest, with 2 to 3 times higher than Upland and Center soils.
Over 5-d incubation with NO3− amendment, cumulative production and consumption of N2O for Center soils were 1.6 and 3.3 times higher than Edge soils, and 3.6 and 7.6 times higher than Upland soils, respectively.
In New England, mountains like Mounts Washington and Monadnock, which are composed of highly resistant rock, rise above a broad mass of ridges at just above the 2,000-foot 2,000-footse ridges, in turn, rise above the 1,100 foot-high New EnglevelUpland.
The study area was comprised of four land-use types with natural areas at higher altitudes, upland areas with fruit orchards, paddy fields and residential areas at lower elevations.
The share of species-rich farmland was highest in upland and structurally complex grassland-dominated regions where extensive livestock production is practised; whereas landscape elements were most likely to occur within flat regions where edge density tends to be high.
Tectonic activity provided original elevation but not mountains: at the end of Laramide time, what are now the front ranges and foothills of the Rockies comprised a high-elevation upland of relatively low relief.
