vertical stratification

This vertical stratification of species is a response to light and humidity levels.

These nutrients also display strong vertical stratification over millimetre scales.

Species vertical stratification by age 42 paralleled establishment patterns.

A form of vertical stratification did take place in the Paris population due to Haussmann's renovations.

Small, shallow lakes are subject to mixing due to wind-induced current; consequently, vertical stratification does not generally occur, except during late summer months.

This suggests that species vertical stratification 42 years after stand initiation was primarily a function of differences in species establishment patterns.

The water of Swanpool has permanent vertical stratification with variation in the salinity with depth.

The diverse habitats in Paklenica and the vertical stratification provide home to a diverse fauna.

In this paper, they discuss the aerial and underground vertical stratification, the plant composition, and the ecological distribution of those elements.

Discriminant analysis of nest-tree variables identified three distinct groups of species, based primarily on vertical stratification.

For example, vertebrate fauna (birds and mammals) can be defined into six communities based on vertical stratification of the rainforest.

For Narragansett, the circulation is well mostly mixed, however, the Providence River does show some vertical stratification.

Because salinity (in concert with temperature) affects the density of seawater, it can play a role in its vertical stratification.

Lawrence in terms of particle transport, water quality, the salinity front, circulation of marine water masses and vertical stratification.

Vertical stratification of sediment concentration is ubiquitous in natural flows, however, which typically contain sediment of very different size.

Environmental data from prior studies of blooms indicate the presence of vertical stratification of the water column that is often induced by freshwater runoff.

In such regions, the vertical stratification is due to surface waters being warmer than deep waters and the halocline is destabilizing.

The pattern of vertical stratification in mixed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.)

On the ebb phase the surface freshwater plume, aided by the baroclinic circulation, overflows the salt water leading to strong vertical stratification.

Sarg. forest in southwestern Washington State, U.S.A., to predict future development of vertical stratification among tree species.

The reasons for this are that the sabkha surface is not a free-water surface, the high humidity during the night, and vertical stratification of the air column.

Vertical stratification of ithomiine butterfly (Nymphalidae: Ithomiinae) mimicry complexes: the relationship between adult flight height and larval host-plant height.

During winter, strong wind promotes convective overturning and upwelling of nutrients, while high summer temperatures result in a marked vertical stratification and a warm, shallow mixed layer.

This "triangular" cross section increases the vertical stratification which helps to accommodate the diversity of nesting, foraging and perching height requirements of a variety of song birds.

The vertical stratification of the atmosphere also held a number of surprises, including strange altitude haloes, opaque up to 90 km and less dense up to 105 km.
