The warming climate and topographical diversity of North America after the Ice Age contributed to the development of a wide variety of cultures and lifestyle among these.
Our predictions were based on four groups of primary parameters that vary in space and time: climate conditions, topographical factors, abundance and susceptibility of host vegetation, and dispersal pressure.
We evaluated population extinctions between 1930 and 1998 for the endangered Quino checkerspot (Euphydryas editha quino) butterfly relative to agricultural history, human population growth, climate variability, topographical diversity, and wildflower abundance.
Hence, this approach allows accurate mapping of mean annual precipitation patterns in regions characterized by rather high topographical complexity using a climate data network with a relatively low density and/or when more advanced precipitation measurement techniques, such as radar, aren't available, for example in the case of historical data.
Vietnam's geographic location and topographical conditions generate particular climate characteristics that result in severe and diversified natural disasters but the greatest threat is flooding.
It was developed by relating FIA plot data to multi-variable geospatial predictors, including Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) data in 2001, percent tree cover and land cover proportions (from the NLCD 1992 product), topographical variables, and annual climate parameters, etc.
This discrepancy in terms of best optimised parameters could be explained by the difference in the climate forcing data, topographical and physiographical characteristics between the two catchment areas.
The present study examines the solar conditions in traditional settlements in a Mediterranean climate, caused by topographical features and the built form.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 — For years, a handful of civilian agencies have used limited images from the nation's constellation of spy satellites to track hurricane damage, monitor climate change and create topographical maps.
These landscapes contain a range of topographical features that influence local hydrology, climate and plant community composition.
The climatic, geological and topographical conditions of the alpine region make for a very fragile ecosystem that is particularly sensitive to climate change.
