Understanding the land use history has proven crucial for the conservation of biodiversity in the agricultural landscape. In southern Sweden, very small and fragmented areas of the disturbance-dependent habitat xeric sand calcareous grassland support a large number of threatened and rare plants and animals. In order to find out if historical land use could explain variation in present-day habit...

Sedimentary features and amino-acid content are described for several lakes in the Anoka sand plain, east-central Minnesota, other lakes in Minnesota, Flathead Lake, Montana, Pyramid Lake, Nevada, and Catahoula Lake, Louisiana. The limnology of the Anoka Sand Plain lakes is related to the characteristics of the "gray" sandy calcareous Mankato drift of the Des Moines lobe which underlies much of...

By orbit-limited motion (OLM) theory and the kinetic model, currents carried by electronsand ions on the dust grain are obtained and the effects of temperature and drift velocity of ions on thedust grain electrical potential are considered. The calculations were performed for finding the role of densities of dust grains and ions on the dust grain electrical potential which is the ma...

Sand and dust storms are natural events that occur widely around the world, mostly in dry and bare lands. Over thepast decade a large part of Iran has been affected by this phenomenon, and Tehran has not been excluded from thisevent. Therefore, having knowledge of spatiotemporal frequency variations can aid us in future management andstorm trajectory assessment. In this study the synoptic anemo...
