The pipeline would be quite distant (I hope) from my bear's den in Taconic, but it would, it seems, march right through the Tophet Road property, swinging down from Goldmine Road, coursing ahead along Painter Hill Road, a 100-foot-wide swath with a great steel pipe buried only three-feet below the surface, trees and shrubs eternally forbidden over the casing for the Canadian-produced natural gas.
A way to delineate precise 3D information about the objects on the earth's surface (trees, buildings) and the topography is the usage of LiDAR.
Moreover, many later theropods, particularly some Jurassic and Cretaceous maniraptorans, have been interpreted as arboreal [92], [93] [95], demonstrating a need to actively use claws (including manual unguals) to aid in climbing – in short, to regularly and readily place their claw tips in contact with rough, abrasive surfaces (tree trunks and branches).
In short, atmospheric NO2 surface concentrations were predicted using multivariable linear regression based on land-use characteristics (impervious surfaces, tree canopy, sum of road lengths, elevation, and distance to coast) and tropospheric NO2 column abundance measurements from the Aura satellite's ozone monitoring instrument (Novotny et al. 2011) (cross-validated R = 0.78).
They latch on to stable vertical surfaces — trees, telephone poles, rural mailboxes — to shed their exoskeletons, a tricky gymnastic maneuver.
The mesiscaped urban sites were dominated by buildings providing shade, nearby impervious surfaces, trees, and grass and herbaceous cover.
Similar symptoms are caused by a change in soil grade, an altered water-table level, a compacted and shallow soil, paved surface over tree roots, temporary flooding or a waterlogged (oxygen-deficient) soil, girdling tree roots, salt spray near the ocean, and an injured or diseased root system.
At 2 a.m., the urban block's percentages of impervious surface and tree canopy explained 68% of the variation in air temperature.
At 2 a.m. during extreme heat events, the urban block's percentages of impervious surface and tree canopy explained 91% of the variation in air temperature.
The aim of this study was to analyse the microstructure of the young stem (culm) surface in tree bamboo species of the genus Bambusa (B. chungii, B. emeiensis and B. multiplex).
