Here we examined SOC storages and SOC-mineral interactions along two hillslope transects in differing climate zones (MAP = 549 mm in semi-arid eucalyptus savannah vs. 816 mm in temperate eucalyptus forest) in southeastern Australia.
Major drivers of biogeosphere evolution and function have been the cycles of water and nutrients in a complex array of differing climates and catchment geomorphologies.
Last year, NMRCD obtained 2,159 isolates from collaborating project sites in five departments of Peru with differing climates and population densities.
The pattern of genetic variation with differing climates was logical in terms of expected adaptations to high temperature and drought stress environments common in the intermountain west (Levitt 1980; Westoby et al. 2002; Warren et al. 2006; Maricle et al. 2007; St. Clair et al. 2013).
However, with distances and differing climates, it is somewhat inevitable.
Our data set comprises common vascular plant species from two different countries located in two different continents differing in climate, biogeography and soil conditions: two Greek and three Australian ecosystems (see Table 1).
Importantly, these factors may differ between homes within a study area and between study areas in different climates.
Stems, leaves and seeds derived from adult C. avellana trees cultivated in 4 Italian towns (Carcare, Ventimiglia, Genova, Rapallo), differing in climate and height, were used for callus induction.
With a goal to characterize how PyC responds to climate-dependent erosion and deposition processes, two hillslopes from SE Australia, differing in climate (MAP: 549 vs. 815 mm) and vegetation but with similar topography were selected for this study.
