Red (left border) and yellow vertical lines are as in Fig. 4. The bottom panel shows eastward cross-meridian current, a negative value since the current was westward, as black dots from meridian modeling and as red dots from a three-dimensional model based on a sparse continent-wide dataset.
Local filmmaking on the continent remained sparse.
But populations in the western and central portions of the continent are sparse, fragmented and threatened by human encroachments as well as poaching for traditional medicine products, according to a commission set up by the World Conservation Union.
†Plausible range based on 95% confidence intervals around the proportion of suicides due to pesticides in the country whose data were used for estimate in this stratum Data on suicide and the methods used for suicide on the African continent are sparse.
The team behind the new research said better estimates of continental rebound rates could be even more significant in estimates of ice loss from the world's biggest ice cap, in Antarctica, but that sparse data from the remote continent made analysis difficult.
Data from this site could complement the current sparse observation network in Africa, a continent where climatic change could significantly impact the future and which constitute a weak link in our understanding of the global carbon cycle.
Moreover, while mistletoe, with its 1,400 species in five families, lives on every continent except Antarctica, it is sparse within each forest.
Perhaps, this could be largely due to the sparse results of ionospheric studies from the continent.
The distribution of rift valleys on the continents is irregular and relatively sparse, but they seem to occur at sites of incipient plate spreading.
However, the sparse observation network in and around the African continent means that Africa is one of the weakest links in our understanding of the global carbon cycle.
Across the African continent, knowledge of the geographical distribution of the molecular forms is sparse.
