Yahweh is not some sort of Baal, a blind and brutal natural force... His destiny, like that of His people, is not identical
with the cycle of the seasons, the regular succession of the day and the night, the
growth and decay of the
vegetation; Yahweh is the Lord of history, whose word alone creates and preserves Israel in life.»

Evidence suggests that the Indians, through the burning of remnants of logs, branches, weeds, crop remains, felled secondary
growth vegetation, near - by forest litter, and cut material brought to the fields along
with kitchen - fire carbon and ash from the houses, modified the fertility of their soils.
With the data they simulated 130 years of
growth following the Yellowstone Fires using a computer model calibrated to the study area and used by forest and land managers around the U.S., called the Forest
Vegetation Simulator.
The SPOTS facilitate plants growing in a small, custom - designed hydroponic
growth chamber
with computerized systems to monitor the
vegetation's progress.
Research conducted by Jin - Soo Kim and Professor Jong - Seong Kug from the Division of Environmental Science and Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), in collaboration
with Professor Su - Jong Jeong from the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at South University of Science and Technology of China, has shown that the warmer Arctic has triggered cooler winters and springs in North America, which has in turn weakened
vegetation growth and lowered carbon uptake capacity in its ecosystems.
Collectively, these data show general increasing trends in both plant
growth and evaporation
with recent climate change mainly driven by
vegetation greening and rising atmosphere moisture deficits.
CO2 has a well - known seasonality
with concentration minima in late summer, at the end of the
vegetation and leaf
growth season, and higher levels during winter.
In the Arctic, the tipping points identified in the new report, published on Friday, include:
growth in
vegetation on tundra, which replaces reflective snow and ice
with darker
vegetation, thus absorbing more heat; higher releases of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the tundra as it warms; shifts in snow distribution that warm the ocean, resulting in altered climate patterns as far away as Asia, where the monsoon could be effected; and the collapse of some key Arctic fisheries,
with knock - on effects on ocean ecosystems around the globe.»
This time was marked by the rapid
growth of
vegetation that has left us
with huge coal reserves.
Six Chinese scientists used remotely - sensed imaging data, including leaf area index (LAI), normalized difference
vegetation index (NDVI), an enhanced
vegetation index (EVI), gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP), coupled
with other data (temperature, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, albedo and wind) over the period 2003 to 2014 to analyze the effects of a wind farm on summer vegetative
growth in a region of northern China.
The insulating, water - shedding, «umbrella» itself is then covered
with more earth sufficient to adequately support
growth of
vegetation for ground - cover.
Higher runoff is expected to mobilise fertilisers and pesticides to water bodies in regions where their application time and low
vegetation growth coincide
with an increase in runoff (Soil and Water Conservation Society, 2003).
The only plausible explanation of the annual wiggle and its variation
with latitude is that it is due to the seasonal
growth and decay of annual
vegetation, especially deciduous forests, in temperate latitudes north and south.
Altogether, therefore, common sense suggests that
with the plant productivity gains that result from the aerial fertilization effect of the ongoing rise in atmospheric CO2, plus its transpiration - reducing effect that boosts plant water use efficiency, along
with its stress - alleviating effect that lessens the negative
growth impacts of resource limitations and environmental constraints, the world's
vegetation possesses an ideal set of abilities to reap a tremendous benefit from what the President inaccurately terms «carbon pollution» in the years and decades to come.
been associated
with any or all of a number of mechanisms, including persistent flammability, inhibited recruitment of big trees in locations where their early
growth was not sheltered so that their roots could reach deep soil water, persistent shrub
vegetation types, etc..
Does Dr. Lindzen's analysis indicate that both atmospheric CO2 and the
vegetation growth are de minimis when compared
with atmospheric moisture levels?
For Europe specifically, it is estimated that the CO2 flux from land
vegetation contributes to reduce the global net flux associated
with atmospheric
growth of CO2, but the relative magnitude of this sink has been decreasing since the 1990s (from capturing 40 % of the global
growth previously, to about 20 % now), likely further to changes in the atmospheric transport of heat and humidity over Europe.
Similar processes might include the
vegetation growth / wildfire cycle in semi-arid ecosystems, or rock avalanches in mountain zones
with a strong freeze - thaw cycle.
