Lower slope snow is at times wet but upper slope coverage offers excellent conditions in most Alpine resorts.
Although the long-term average MTT (LAMTT) in each catchment was correlated with mean slope, coverage of forest (or conversely, other land use types), coverage of sand shale conglomerate, and groundwater storage, the multiple linear regression revealed that inter-catchment variation of LAMTT is principally controlled by the amount of groundwater storage.
Firstly, we computed the slope of coverage between the candidate SNP position (x) and the position x′, which was by default set 5 bp apart.
The model uses biophysical data about biomass, water coverage, slope, soil infiltration capacity, temperature, precipitation and altitude.
These parameters were demonstrated to be useful to characterize adnexal masses because a correlation was proven between enhancement amplitude and maximal slope with pericyte coverage index (PCI) and high expression of VEGFR-2 on both epithelial and endothelial cells [ 25].
New, 2D to 3D facies maps of both travertine systems, combined with microscopy, assist in proposing an integrated spring depositional model, based on the existing MHS facies model, understanding general controls on meter to kilometer scale travertine deposit architecture and its preservation, and provide quantitative estimates of facies spatial coverage and slope using GIS.
Slopes with high shrub coverage were the best predictors of occurrence of Canary Islands stonechats at a landscape scale.
Additionally, maps showing spatial variability and area coverage of slopes and fertilizer application were produced using GIS software (Arc Map version 10) with spatial analyst function.
The subtropical region of Northwestern Argentina displays severe environmental deterioration due to a combination of factors, including seasonally contrasting weather, highly erodable loessic soils, a topography with varied slopes, and natural vegetation coverage restricted by deforestation and agricultural advance, in addition to exploitation of natural resources by people.
New technologies like ground-based radar can provide high resolution, full area coverage of a slope in combination with near real-time acquisition and millimeter precision.
This is smaller in mountainous areas covered mostly by forests and greater in plain areas with less forest coverage and smaller slope.
