Differing stands determine competing interpretations of the past 40 years of American politics, conflicting analyses of the 2012 election, and alternative projections of the near-term future of American politics.
compile the largest available data set of growth yet developed for New Zealand kauri in planted stands, determine the productivity of kauri grown in plantations across a range of sites and conditions, determine whether improved growth rates would result in shorter rotation lengths for commercial harvest.
The objectives of this study were to: compile the largest available data set of growth yet developed for New Zealand kauri in planted stands, determine the productivity of kauri grown in plantations across a range of sites and conditions, determine whether improved growth rates would result in shorter rotation lengths for commercial harvest.
We conclude that canopy-layer composition influences the herb-layer structure and diversity in two different ways: the presence of the evergreen component in mixed stands determines structural features at understory level, while the deciduous component determines the specific composition of plant assemblage.
Segregation and intimidation were the backdrop against which Anderson's subjects stood — determined, unbowed.
Kayla Harrison took her spot on the medal stand, determined not to cry during the national anthem.
By the 1930's he was recognized as a comer, having compiled outstanding fitness reports, including an enthusiastic assessment in 1939: "Takes a definite stand, determined, holds to his convictions, sure of himself.... Original independent thinker, produces practical ideas, active imagination".
Explanatory variables used in the modelling included LiDAR metrics, stand age and stand density (determined from plot measurements).
The spatial pattern of the aspens within the three study stands was determined by applying Ripley's K t) function (Ripley 1981).
We also compared historical spatial patterns in mosaic-meadows to current conditions in ponderosa pine stands and determined whether thinning treatments are recreating historical conditions.
