The 1,108 arctic and 609 temperate processed expressed sequence tags (ESTs) sequences were assembled into contigs using Phrap (Green 2002) as described (Stromvik et al. 2006; Vodkin et al. 2004).
In temperate forests, processes such as natural succession in the absence of catastrophic disturbances (e.g., fire) and tree species composition will have special significance in determining old-growth conditions.
Precipitation and temperature were also found to affect the dewatering process under temperate climate conditions.
These, too, showed more tropical than temperate mutations.By a process of elimination, therefore, the three researchers were left with the conclusion that, by pushing metabolic rates up, tropical heat causes more mutation and thus more speciation.
The crystal structures as well as the amount of hydroxy-interlayered clay minerals resulting from the Al-hydroxylation process in temperate acidic soil developed in a forest were studied by modeling experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns.
Population and community processes in temperate mountain regions, as in the rather similar Arctic environments, are influenced by the highly seasonal climate.
Fire has often been shown to promote invasion by non-native plant species, but few studies have examined the process in temperate-zone deciduous forests.
Complex multiple transfer processes in temperate overdeepened systems has been indicated by the presence of large frontal moraine systems, supraglacial debris of mixed transport origin, thick basal ice sequences, and englacial thrusts and eskers.
Less ambiguous results may be obtained in low diversity systems (e.g. tropical dry or temperate forests)—although the processes shaping epiphyte assemblages may differ substantially between forest types (Burns and Zotz 2010).
We mapped land cover composition and configuration changes using time series of Landsat TM/ETM+ images (1985 2011) in Southern Chile to understand the transformation process of a temperate rainforest relict and biodiversity hotspot.
After its domestication, rice cultivation expanded from tropical regions towards northern latitudes with temperate climate in a progressive process to overcome limiting photoperiod and temperature conditions.
