For the second model (hereafter "tropical lowland model"), we treated the distribution as either a) present or b) absent of an area composed by the tropical lowlands of Amazonia, Parana, Cerrado, Caatinga and also the Yungas.
For the "tropical lowlands" model geographic range was treated as: 1) present in an area composed of Amazonian, Cerrado-Caatinga, and Parana regions, or 2) present in the remainder of the distribution of Sigmodontinae.
However, field evidence supports extensive glaciation along the polar continental shelves and coastal Pacific lowlands (maximum model) [ 13].
The Salers_Calving matches the UK beef suckler upland spring calving model and the Charolais_Fattening the UK beef suckler lowland autumn calving model.
The Charolais_Calving and Limousin_Calving match the UK beef lowland spring calving model.
Heath 30 asserts that a commitment to uncertainty is fundamental to general practice… and Schon 31 has described this operative landscape as a 'swampy lowland' proposing a model which advocates reflective practice as the key to dealing with uncertainty.
"Silicon Glen", stretching across the Scottish lowlands, was a model for modern times, an area of declining coal and steel-based industry transformed into a cluster of smart factories serving the new economy.
Furthermore, investigations of volcanic and glacial sedimentary processes, especially at Icelandic lowland glaciers, have provided depositional models for landscapes in former glaciated areas both in Iceland and elsewhere.
In Europe and North America the prevailing model of "natural" lowland streams is incised-meandering channels with silt-clay floodplains, and this is the typical template for stream restoration.
Efforts were made to include estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) to improve estimates of travel time distributions (Botter et al., 2011), which has proven valuable for hydrochemical models in temperate lowlands (Benettin et al., 2013).
