Geochemistry and dynamics of calcrete genesis in semi-arid regions
Calcretes are the calcite crusts widely developed at the Earth's surface in semi-arid regions (e.g., Goudie, 1983; Nahon, 1991; Wright and Tucker, 1991 ). Thickness of calcretes is tens of centimeters to a few meters, and increases downslope. Calcretes pseudomorphically replace all underlying silicate rocks. Parent rock structure and bulk volume are preserved. In the lower part of calcrete prof...
متن کاملLiterature in the Arid Zone
This chapter surveys and assesses from an ecocentric perspective some representative literary portrayals of the Australian deserts. Generally, it contrasts works that portray the desert as an alien, hostile, and undifferentiated void with works that recognise and value the biological particularities of specific desert places. It explores the literature of three dominant cultural orientations to...
متن کاملBirth of a biome: insights into the assembly and maintenance of the Australian arid zone biota.
The integration of phylogenetics, phylogeography and palaeoenvironmental studies is providing major insights into the historical forces that have shaped the Earth's biomes. Yet our present view is biased towards arctic and temperate/tropical forest regions, with very little focus on the extensive arid regions of the planet. The Australian arid zone is one of the largest desert landform systems ...
متن کاملWater Balance and Urine Production in the Australian Arid-zone Crab Holthuisana
The permeability to tritiated water (hourly exchange fraction = 0-164) and the rate of urine flow (0-47% body weight/day) are lower than recorded in other freshwater decapods. The calculated net osmotic water flux (2-71 % body weight/day) is 5 times the water output in the urine, indicating that there is extrarenal excretion of water. Water balance is maintained in the absence of urine producti...
متن کاملPalaeoclimate change drove diversification among isolated mountain refugia in the Australian arid zone.
Refugia featured prominently in shaping evolutionary trajectories during repeated cycles of glaciation in the Quaternary, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere instead experienced cycles of severe aridification but little is known about the temporal presence and role of refugia for arid-adapted biota. Isolated mountain ranges located in the Australian arid zone likely...
