I showered beneath the stars and a waning moon, at dawn when the sky was dove gray, and at noon when the sparse canopy of the tree fragmented the sun.
Occasionally there's a clue of what's to come: a lone fig tree, fragments of ceramic pipes which once channelled water, a relief carving of a camel caravan – so weathered that only hooves and feet remain.
Water, sand, sky, trees, fragments of past time.
This viewer interconnects three MS n items: the spectrum, which contains mass peaks, the fragmentation tree, which contains fragment nodes/elemental compositions, and the fragmentation reactions, which contain structures.
However, the results of TWOGENER and mating system analyses indicated similar numbers of pollen donors in the progenies of mother trees from fragments and in isolated trees.
We assessed the contribution of environmental variables on the species richness and density of fig trees in fragments of seasonal semideciduous forest (SSF) in Brazil.
In the landscape we studied, reducing gaps to no more than 50 m and providing corridors or shade trees between fragments should facilitate movements of forest birds.
Location factors have been previously demonstrated to be important in explaining the persistence of trees in fragments in the environmentally diverse region of Xishuangbanna, China (Liu and Slik, Biological Conservation, 2014).
The marked difference in vegetation structure between urban and natural landscapes in this arid shrubland system likely contributed to this pattern; the presence of native shrubs and exotic trees in fragments enabled both shrub and arboreal nesters to co-occur.
Most portray the aftermath of battle; they include mutilated torsos and limbs mounted on trees, like "fragments of marble sculpture".
