Monsoon and land use in Sri Lanka

1979

Agricultural land use in Sri Lanka roughly shows a division of the island in two major parts, according to the climatic division into the Wet and Dry Zones. Therefore, it is the ultimate, most important question for agricultural land use in Sri Lanka whether the seasonal occurrence of a distinct dry season, which is characteristic of the Dry Zone, is also the most delimiting factor for land use or not. It seems true, in fact, that the long SW monsoonal dry season in the Dry Zone is the major fact for a large-scale division of Sri Lanka according to the crops under cultivation and the cropping systems. Paddy (rice) and tea are the leading crops in the Dry as well as Wet Zone. They are at the…

Evolution saisonnière des corrélations entre précipitations en Afrique guinéenne et températures de surface de la mer (1945–1994)

1997

Resume Les precipitations en Afrique de l'Ouest au sud de 10∘ N ont fortement baisse entre les decennies 1950 et 1980, pour tous les mois, excepte juillet et aout. Une analyse des correlations entre temperatures de surface de mer et precipitations sur la periode 1945–1994 montre que: 1) la grande saison seche (novembre a avril) ainsi que la premiere saison des pluies (mai-juin) sont associees a une structure globale de correlations, negatives/positives dans l'hemisphere Sud/Nord ; 2) la petite saison seche (juillet-aout) est associee a des correlations positives dans l'Atlantique Sud et equatorial ; 3) la deuxieme saison des pluies (septembre–octobre) est associee a des correlations positiv…

Données nouvelles biochronologiques et paléoécologiques sur le bassin sédimentaire côtier du bénin entre le crétacé supérieur et l'éocène basal (Afri…

1998

Resume Un sondage carotte (Ouinhi) et des couples levees dans la carriere d'Onigbolo, situee a une vingtine de kilometres du forage, sur la partie aujourd'hui on-shore du bassin sedimentaire cotier beninois, ont fait l'objet de ce travail. Les conditions paleoenvironnementales, fort inegales d'un niveau a l'autre, imposaient une etude pluridisciplinaire, aussi bien sedimentologique que paleontologique. Les resultats obtenus, a partir des foraminiferes, ostracodes et palynomorphes, fournissent des donnees biostratigraphiques et paleoecologiques nouvelles, apportant des complements a la connaissance de l'histoire de ce bassin entre le Cretace terminal et l'Eocene basal. La grande rarete de do…

Suitability of a native South African shrub as pot plant

2006

Leonotis leonurus (L.) Br. Pubesc., also known as “lion’s ear” is a perennial shrub belonging to the Labiatae family and native to South Africa. The name of the genus derives from the Greek words leon (lion) and otòs (ear). The esthetic ornamental value of its bright orange inflorescence and its adaptation to a wide range of conditions have led a research to evaluate the suitability of L. leonurus as pot plant. Pot plants from one year rooted cuttings were grown in the Northern coast of Sicily; at the end of December, plants were pruned to 30 cm length and then moved to an unheated plastic greenhouse. Flowering started in April under protected cultivation and continued throughout the summer…

Méthodologie de prélèvements des charbons de bois dans les sites protohistoriques

1992

ResumeUne classification taphonomique a ete effectuee en fonction de la localisation spatiale et stratigraphique des restes de bois carbonises, ainsi que de leur provenance (bois de feu, bois d'œuvre). On distingue le cas particulier des restes provenant de la destruction par incendie d'un habitat. Une methode de prelevement est conseillee.

Systemic silviculture and Mediterranean forest complexity: the need for a new paradigm in forestry

2011

La crescente minaccia di riduzione, semplificazione e scomparsa dei fondamentali caratteri di diversita biologica che caratterizza l’ambiente mediterraneo, e segnatamente le sue formazioni forestali, rende necessario rivedere le strategie di intervento colturale e gestione. In passato hanno prevalso, in specie nei boschi pubblici, forme di gestione e di applicazione della selvicoltura alquanto semplificate e volte a massimizzare soprattutto la funzione produttiva e a “normalizzare “ le formazioni forestali. Viceversa emerge sempre piu chiaramente la complessita dei sistemi mediterranei. Pertanto e necessario uscire dagli schemi preordinati e adottare un approccio che comprenda e rispetti ta…

Die Wurzelsysteme der endemischen Echium ‐Arten auf Tenerife (Kanarische Inseln) und ihre Beziehungen zum Wuchsort

1999

Die Wurzelsysteme der tenerfenischen Echium-Arten entwickeln sich recht uneinheitlich, immer aber gemas den ortlichen Gegebenheiten wie Bodenstruktur, Tiefgrundigkeit, Wasserfuhrung und entsprechend dem artspezifischen Bauplan. Die meisten Arten sind weder ausgepragt flach- noch tiefwurzelnd. Sie besitzen aber in der Mehrzahl eine Hauptwurzel, die nur dort pfahlartig in die Tiefe wachst, wo der Untergrund es zulast. Die Existenz feuchterer „Taschen”, nach denen sich das Wurzelwachstum ausrichtet, sind die wichtigste Wasserquelle fur die Mehrzahl der Echium-Arten. Sie bewirken eine betrachtliche Variabilitat ihrer Wurzelsysteme. Eine gunstige Wasserversorgung bieten auch Felsspalten und -klu…

A disjunctive site of Sympecma paedisca (Brau.) (Odonata: Lestidae) in Opole Silesia (south-western Poland)

2013

The occurrence of Sympecma paedisca in a small water body in the Limestone Quarry “Gorazdze” was recorded in 2010. This site is interesting because of the anthropogenic nature of ecosystem and its location 50 km west of the known range of the species.
