And the fluctuation - analysis techniques make it possible to understand the temperature variations over wide ranges of time scales. (sciencedaily.com)
Carbon fixed into plants is then cycled through plant tissues, litter and soil carbon and can be released back into the atmosphere by plant, microbial and animal respiration and other processes (e.g. forest fires) on a very wide range of time scales (seconds to millennia). (metlink.org)
In addition to its high precision and stability, the instrument can detect motion over a wide range of time scales, critical for calibrating instruments and measuring short - lived states in protein folding. (sciencedaily.com)
