Although large wood (LW) has been intensively studied in forested basins of humid temperate climates, data on LW patterns in different fluvial environments are rather scarce.
Although human leptospirosis is endemic in most industrialized countries worldwide (12), few systematic large-scale reports provide detailed information on the epidemiologic characteristics of the disease in temperate regions, including data on the relationship between humans and potential reservoir hosts and urban versus rural settings.
From the present results, we are not able to explain the discrepant results in Southern temperate zones as data on dietary intake are not available in our cohort.
Here, we used data on temperate trees from common gardens to explore the relative importance of climate conditions and evolutionary relatedness in governing the similarity of leaf out timing of 1192 tree species across the temperate biome.
Log-linear models produced gross overestimates in the continental US, i.e., > 2.6x, and the use of this model to predict regional biomass using GLAS data in temperate, western hemisphere forests is not appropriate.
To find out if this productivity is caused by tree species richness, by a more heterogeneous stand structure or both, we analyzed the effects of forest structure and tree species richness on stand productivity, based on inventory data of temperate forests in the United States of America and Germany.
Maybe you won't be reading in the idyllic surroundings pictured by Edmund Leighton -- even in the temperate San Francisco Bay Area, despite the data reflected in the last link below, it's not nearly so balmy here right now -- but the variety and depth of this week's suggested reading will engross you just as much.
This might also explain why our infection rates were higher than suggested by previous data from temperate climates.
Comparisons of genetic with paleoecological data of temperate woody species are known to reveal unique genetic lineages and⁄ or endemic haplotypes in separate refuge populations [ 77, 78].
As expected in a temperate climate, our surveillance data revealed a seasonal pattern of distribution, with transmission peaking in the summer and decreasing in the period from autumn to spring.
