The difference this time is that American farming is poised on the brink of true industrialization, creating a landscape driven by energy production and what is now called "biorefining".
Yet Dumont has a genius for alienated landscape, driven by an unending, not quite hopeless demand that emptiness, stared at intensively enough, will at last yield up its secrets.
Very limited numbers of data layers were required to model spatial distribution of soils; and these were landscape driven.
Given that stasis is the norm in the mammalian fossil record, our results suggest that large shifts in the adaptive landscape drove hominin evolution.
In this paper we focus on changes in the physical character of the landscape driven by geophysical processes as an equally potent factor.
This chapter addresses the dynamics of the changing security landscape, driven by the rising business risk exposure of transnational organized crime, cyber crimes, piracy, and the emerging terrorist capabilities, resulting in adversaries changing tactics and target selection.
A wide variety of motions are naturally sampled (over femtosecond to millisecond time-scales) as the enzyme complex moves along the energetic landscape, driven by temperature and dynamical events from the surrounding environment.
The landscape drives the system toward the ring valley, and the flux vector makes the system move along the oscillation ring.
An alternative view to account for this is presented through a selectionist interpretation of a rapidly changing fitness landscape driven by strong selective pressures on protein stability and dynamics [ 11, 12].
This kind of dichotomic conceptual model could be applicable to old-growth dominated landscapes driven predominantly by small scale gap dynamics, which are punctuated with relatively rare but severe fires or storms (Syrjänen et al. 1994; Seymour et al. 2002).
