Abstract. We explored the relationship between fragment area, topographic heterogeneity, and disturbance intensity with tree and shrub species diversity in seasonally dry oak forest remnants in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaca, ...

Context: Predicting tree growth and yield is a key component to sustainable forest management and depends on accurate measures of site quality. Aims: The aim of this study was to develop both empirical models to predict ...

Despite favourable gravitational instability and ridge-push, elastic and frictional forces prevent subduction initiation fromarising spontaneously at passive margins. Here,we argue that forces arising fromlarge continental ...

: The technical requirements for geoprocessing of topographical data were studied, from digitizing until the obtention of the topographical factor of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), through calculation of slope ...

Among the aspects of the studies of erosive processes, there is the proposition of topographic thresholds, given by an inverse relationship between contribution area (A) and slope (S), which conditions the surface runoff ...
