aridification

Aridification is the process of a region becoming increasingly dry.

They were needed as a consequence of severe aridification that affected this wide geographical area.

This lasted for almost 2,000 years, but continued aridification closed this favorable window in the end."

This indicates strong aridification of the climate.

Australia has undergone a very long process of gradual aridification since it split off from Gondwanaland about 40 million years ago.

Desiccation is a process of aridification resulting from a dry period lasting in the order of decades.

Radiocarbon dating has indicated that the species became extinct in the 14th century during a period of climatic aridification.

Desiccation Aridification, due to prolonged drought, lasting many years or decades, sometimes resulting in desertification.

Pollen studies have shown that the aridification process began nearly 3,000 years ago, and peaked 1,000 years prior to the time of the extinctions.

The 5.9 kiloyear event was one of the most intense aridification events during the Holocene Epoch.

The more recent aridification has left much of the archaeology intact, most notable several stone circles and the later town of Azougui.

Beginning in the latest Middle Pennsylvanian (late Moscovian) a cycle of aridification began.

One of the products of aridification is the current island like archipelagos of rainforests along the planet.

In response to climate change, plants may begin to flower earlier in the season due to regional aridification and a rise in mean global temperature.

This area has witnessed steady aridification and desertfication since the Pleistocene, but perhaps most dramatically since the 19th century.

The assemblage provides evidence that aridification was in progress in northern Australia during the Miocene.

Most Bond events do not have a clear climate signal; some correspond to periods of cooling, others are coincident with aridification in some regions.

The primary reasons for this are human hunting and habitat loss from early aridification, both of persist and threaten Madagascar's remaining taxa today.

The taxon is surmised to possibly be a wet-zone relict stranded by the aridification of peninsular India.

All are induced or aggravated by human activities, e.g. sheet erosion, silting, aridification, salinization, urbanization, etc.

Studies of the sedimentary sequences suggests an aridification phase with seasonal precipitation patterns increasing and reducing total precipitation.

Extraordinarily thick-boned fish linked to the aridification of the Qaidam Basin (northern Tibetan Plateau).

The onset of the 5.9 kiloyear event's intense aridification resulted in the "green Sahara" rapidly transforming into the Sahara Desert.

An atmospheric drying (aridification) happened in the Middle to Late Pennsylvanian coinciding with abrupt faunal changes in marine and terrestrial species.
