Differences in growth patterns between co-occurring forest and savanna trees affect the forest–savanna boundary
1. Patterns of growth, activity and renewal of stems and branches are primary determinants of ecosystem function and strongly influence net primary productivity, water and energy balance. Here we compare patterns of leaf phenology, stem radial growth and branch growth of co-occurring savanna and forest trees in the Cerrado region of central Brazil to gain insight into the influence of these par...
متن کاملAmazonian forest-savanna bistability and human impact
A bimodal distribution of tropical tree cover at intermediate precipitation levels has been presented as evidence of fire-induced bistability. Here we subdivide satellite vegetation data into those from human-unaffected areas and those from regions close to human-cultivated zones. Bimodality is found to be almost absent in the unaffected regions, whereas it is significantly enhanced close to cu...
متن کاملSavanna–forest hysteresis in the tropics
A simple dynamic model relating forest area in a region, its contribution to dry season precipitation and the effect on its own establishment was developed. The model equation shows hysteresis between forest and savannas as a function of imported dry season precipitation. Regions are either dominated by forests or savannas, with each ecosystem showing stability despite changes in imported dry s...
متن کاملHeinemann Medical Dictionary
6n if they are designed to help our badly paid secretaries in their early months of a culture-shock state. Further, most such medical dictionaries are also impressively bound, North American and very expensive. This medical dictionary from Messrs Heinemann is nothing of the kind. It appears in a humble paperback version, as well as in hardback. Don't be deceived by the deceptively conventional ...
متن کاملHypotension is 100 mm Hg on the battlefield Brian
BACKGROUND: Historically, emergency physicians and trauma surgeons have referred to a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 90 mm Hg as hypotension. Recent evidence from the civilian trauma literature suggests that 110 mm Hg may be more appropriate based on associated acidosis and outcome measures. In this analysis, we sought to determine the relationship between SBP, hypoperfusion, and mortality in...
