The neotectonic history of the Amazonian lowland is explained within the context of an overarching mechanism most likely related to intraplate stresses.
These data are compared with existing charcoal records from throughout the Bolivian lowlands to provide a regional scale context of past biomass burning.
In the above context, it is intriguing that tropical lowland dipterocarp forests of South-east Asia do not show a high basal area in spite of the existence of an emergent layer: the basal area of dipterocarp forest is typically <50 cm m−2 (Slik et al., 2010).
This talk will examine several paleoenvironmental studies from the Maya lowlands as a basis for developing a broader context from which to view the rise and fall of prehispanic Maya settlement.
In the Stenocercus lizard radiation, restricted sampling and phylogenetic information have limited inferences about the timing, spatial context, and environmental drivers of diversification in the open and dry lowland settings of eastern and southern South America.
(To put it in context: While the execution of Harambe the beautiful and sacrosanct Western lowland gorilla was unfathomably sad, it was statistically meaningless compared to the near-extinction of mountain gorillas a distinct and far less populous species in Central Africa).
We use a large archaeological charcoal collection, drawn from numerous geographically and functionally varied contexts, to develop a multi-scalar vegetation history of Marquesas Islands' lowland forests.
For more valid assessments, these assignments need to move from the "high, hard ground" closer to the "swampy lowlands" and to be engaged with more fully by the supervisor in the clinical context [ 24].
(A) View of the circum-Chryse highland-lowland boundary region, which is made up of the Chryse and Acidalia Planitiae lowlands and the Tempe, Xanthe, and Arabia Terrae highlands (inset shows region within the planetwide context).
