Fluvial sandstones deposited by high-sinuosity fluvial systems are one of the most complex reservoirs to predict and model with confidence, a reflection of both the geometries and complex distribution of the component ...

Outcrops around the world enhance biodiversity as they provide heterogeneous environments and varied habitats for species with different requirements than those living in the surroundings, and in this way they increase ...

We present a comparative study of the flora and vegetation of marble outcrops and their nearby migmatite matrix from mountains in central Argentina. In all, we sampled 50 sites and recorded the cover-abundance of all ...

The purpose of the present work is to study the effect of an isolated depression and a related rocky outcrop on the flow field in a mesotidal channel of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina. To this end, measurements of ...

Background: Under climate-change scenarios, rock outcrops, by providing microclimatically diverse habitats, different from those of surrounding zonal vegetation matrix, may serve as climatic refugia and thereby facilitate ...

Although virtual outcrops or digital outcrop model applications in geological studies are becoming increasingly common, virtually no attention has been given to acquisition of palaeocurrent data from cross-strata. Palaeocurrent ...

Exploration and production from formations deposited in low-gradient fluvial systems is typically associated with a high degree of uncertainty; a reflection of the inherent characteristics of these environments, notably ...

The leaf and soil nutrient status of plants has been used to infer structural and functional aspects at the ecosystem level. Such data are available for tropical and savanna systems growing on poor and acidic soils; however, ...
