Interestingly, although tubers and a deciduous habit appear to be suitable for surviving in the desiccation-prone limestone habitats such as most karst Begonia in Madagascar (Grubb2003; Keraudren-Aymonin1983), our data strongly suggest that it is the rhizomatous Clade SVLB that succeeded and proliferated in the Sino-Vietnamese limestone karst terrains.
And the lithically minded noted that limestone is prone to splits and fissures, not entirely unlike Mr Miliband's party.
The state is prone because it sits on limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water, with a layer of clay on top.
Based on log reports, the Pollard interval consists of mudstones with some claystones, while the Challis interval is more sand-prone with interbedded claystones and limestone intercalations.
Florida is particularly prone to sinkholes as the entire state has limestone underneath it.
Begonia is a mega-diverse genus of flowering plants prone to generating micro-endemic species, especially on limestone habitats.
Florida is particularly prone to the events because it lies on a vast limestone slab though which an aquifer percolates, gradually eating away at the bedrock.
Florida is prone to sinkholes, with most of the state sitting on top of limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water.
The results of the SI values showed that the spatial combination of the main drivers namely farmlands, − 0.06 0.2 range in NDVI, rocks with inter-bedded limestone and other susceptible classes therein can make at least a prone area of about 30% to landsliding.
The addition of lime (calcium oxide, or CaO), supplied by the limestone, renders the glass insoluble again, but too much makes a glass prone to devitrification i.e., the precipitation of crystalline phases in certain ranges of temperature.
The porous nature of limestone and stucco (calcareous coating) along with the high humidity and temperature typical of Southern Mexico and Central America, make these monuments prone to stone biodeterioration.
