In order to ensure the smooth operation of the Baotou-Lanzhou railway in Shapotou region of China (southeast edge of the Tengger Desert), vegetation protecting system was established, and then substantial biological soil crusts (BSCs) gradually developed there, however so far little study has focused on the refined crust community types and their related ecological functions.
Smooth, creamy and substantial, with a delightful crust of caramelized sugar, it hinted at the joy and the passion behind that one-word cry: azúcar!
The process of mantle decompression thermal-tsunami may account for much of the heat leaving the Earth's surface, for the geothermal gradient observed in the crust, for substantial volcanism and for earthquake generation as well (Herndon 2006a).
The crust is light but substantial, flavored with real butter and soaked-in fruit juices; the fillings are fresh and true.
An intense rain event at the end of the dry season on May 1 (16.8 mm) caused a substantial increase in soil moisture below both crust types.
Further Future, on the other hand, came out swinging for the fences with a budget to support substantial production, positioning themselves amongst the upper crust of Burners, but found their audience lacking.
As approximately one-third of the terrestrial surface is arid or semi-arid land, and BSC cover can be substantial, understanding the dynamics of nitrification mediated by crust microbes has relevance to the global N-cycle.
Triton has a surface of mostly frozen nitrogen, a mostly water ice crust, an icy mantle and a substantial core of rock and metal.
The two pizzas (grilled vegetables, mozzarella and tomato) with their crisp, paper-thin crusts yielded four small or six substantial slices, and the salads were almost comparable to entree-size ones served elsewhere.
This phenomenon suggests that earthquakes in the crust are facilitated as a result of substantial pore fluid generated by dehydration reactions to eclogite from hydrous minerals (e.g., Abers et al. 2013).
