We examined avian community ecology in the Klamath Ecoregion and determined that individual bird species co-exist spatially to form 29 statistically distinguishable bird groups. We identified climate, geography, and vegetation metrics that are correlated with these 29 bird groups at three scales: Klamath Ecoregion, vegetation formation (agriculture, conifer, mixed conifer/hardwood, shrubland), ...

Dynamics of motions on long spatial scales, that are strongly affected by rotation and stratification, is in first approximation described by the balance of buoyancy and Coriolis forces. In this regime, the dynamics is nearly two dimensional and energy flows from short to large scales. In contrast, the regime of weak stratification and rotation is dominated by viscosity and advection, and the f...

In this note we communicate some important remarks about the concepts of almost periodic time scales and almost periodic functions on time scales that are proposed by Wang and Agarwal in their recent papers ( see [7]-[10]).

the relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the netherlands. for a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. a generalized additive model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...
