Morphometric Properties of Glacial Cirques in Zagros Mountain, IRAN
The morphometry of 187 cirques like forms is performed in the selected regions of Zagros Mountain with the use of GIS. The cirques like forms were delimitated manually and their headwall and floor boundaries were modified based on the classified slope map. The power law functions were fitted to 187 longitudinal cross-sections of the cirque like forms and their parameters were analyzed. All the ...
متن کاملTechnical Note: Glacial influence in tropical mountain hydrosystems evidenced by the diurnal cycle in water levels
Worldwide, the rapid shrinking of glaciers in response to ongoing climate change is modifying the glacial meltwater contribution to hydrosystems in glacierized catchments. Determining the influence of glacial runoff to streams is therefore of critical importance to evaluate potential impact of glacier retreat on water quality and aquatic biota. This task has challenged both glacier hydrologists...
متن کاملPhysicochemical characteristics and trophic state evaluation of post glacial mountain lake using multivariate analysis
The current study deals with the physicochemical characterization, temporal variability and trophic state evaluation of a post glacial mountain lake in eastern Himalaya during the period of 2014-2016. Notable seasonal variations are recorded for physicochemical parameters of lake water. The values for electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity and ...
متن کاملNutrient Limitation in Tropical Streams of Tanzania
Communities of plants are thought to grow until they reach some limiting factor such as light, space, available nutrients or other limitation. Very often this limiting factor is a nutrient limitation. Therefore, if plants are provided with the essential nutrient they lack, they will expand their community’s biomass. This phenomenon is well studied in temperate communities. In those ecosystems, ...
متن کاملTropical mountain cradles of dry forest diversity.
O f all ecosystems in tropical America, seasonally dry forests, patchily distributed where relatively fertile soils, annual rainfall 1,600 mm, and strong seasonal drought coincide, are perhaps the least understood and most endangered (1, 2). Mesoamerican dry forest diversity peaks in southwest Mexico, where up to 16% of tree species are local endemics (3). Judith Becerra, in this issue of PNAS ...
