In the paper, preliminary results of the analysis of potential use of climate forecast information in designing rainfall index insurance in the southeastern region of the U.S. are reported. Joint distributions of bi-monthly ...
Can texture-based classification optimally classify soils with respect to soil hydraulics?
(2022-10-14)
[1] In the past, texture-based classification of soils has been used for grouping soils in
variably saturated water flow and solute transport studies. Classification of soils becomes
especially important for large-scale ...
Micro- and Macroevolutionary Trade-Offs in Plant-Feeding Insects
(2022-10-14)
A long-standing hypothesis asserts that plant-feeding insects specialize on particular host plants because of negative interactions (trade-offs) between adaptations to alternative hosts, yet empirical evidence for such ...
