land vegetation

The hippopotamus which live in them feed on land vegetation at night.

To roll water down the slope to irrigate the low land vegetation is where the place gets its name.

Their teeth were worn down from eating hard land vegetation, not soggy watery stuff.

Fossil histosols are known from the earliest extensive land vegetation in the Devonian.

Shore habitats range from the upper intertidal zones to the area where land vegetation takes prominence.

The oceans and land vegetation are absorbing about half of our emissions; the other half remains airborne for 100 years or longer.

This will allow land vegetation to flourish each time the level of carbon dioxide rises due to tectonic activity and animal life.

The sparse land vegetation consists of six species of plants, none of which are endemic.

As a result, most land vegetation spreads down to the sea, and the coastal waters are rich in underwater vegetation, such as green algae.

The oceans and land vegetation release and absorb over 200 billion metric tons of carbon into and out of the atmosphere each year.

The sensor was originally designed primarily for recording oceanic biology and water quality as well as land vegetation, clouds, and water vapor.

Modis will also measure biological changes in the ocean, changes in land vegetation, and changes in the properties of clouds and atmospheric aerosols.

The Forest Service estimates that some 40 million Americans live in what it calls the "urban/wildland interface," directly adjacent to or scattered within unpopulated areas with wild land vegetation.

Dr. Dregne said, "What this means in human terms is that people who live in this area have very odd variations of rainfall and land vegetation, making it difficult to survive."

Lycopsid genera specialized in various roles: Paralycopodites as a pioneer on newly silted lakes shallow enough for land vegetation to start; Diaphorodendron later when the ground had become peaty.

In contrast to other archipelago chains on Harlan's World, the volcanic dribbling provided a rich soil base and most of the land is thickly covered with the planet's beleaguered land vegetation.

The Keeling Curve also shows a cyclic variation of about 5 ppmv in each year corresponding to the seasonal change in uptake of CO by the world's land vegetation.

Much of Australia's population live in the temperate rain forest conditions of South of the evergreen conditions of the South West because the lands vegetation is able to live with.

Atmospheric GHG levels are usually supplied as an input, though it is possible to include a carbon cycle model including land vegetation and oceanic processes to calculate GHG levels.

Famine had taken the last surviving enclaves, but even if they'd hung on for a few more years, plankton and land vegetation were dying so rapidly that the planet would soon 't fatally starved of oxygen.

The earliest land vegetation is found in early Silurian entisols and inceptisols, and with the growth of land vegetation under a protective ozone layer several new soil orders emerged.

Wildlife and wildlife resources are defined by the Act to include: birds, fish, mammals and all other classes of wild animals and all types of aquatic and land vegetation upon which wildlife is dependent.

Dr. Shear said the much earlier date for land vegetation "gives us a much larger span of time in which animals might have existed on land, evolving to what we see in the Ludlow, Rhynie and Gilboa fossils."

Land Vegetation and Ice Sensor (LVIS) - The Land, Vegetation and Ice Sensor (LVIS) is a laser altimeter optimized for operation at higher altitudes.

As the Lyginopteridales are the earliest-known gymnosperms, and the development of ovules was one of the key innovations that caused seed plants to eventually dominate land vegetation, the evolution of lyginopteridalean ovules has attracted considerable interest from palaeobotanists.
