ANALYZING REGIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES: THE RESILIENCE OF CHINESE VINEYARDS TO LAND DEGRADATION USING A SOCIETAL AND BIOPHYSICAL APPROACH

Analyzing Regional Geographic Challenges: The Resilience of Chinese Vineyards to Land Degradation Using a Societal and Biophysical Approach

Land degradation, especially soil erosion, is a societal issue that affects vineyards worldwide, but there are no current investigations that inform specifically about soil erosion rates in Chinese vineyards.In this review, we analyze this problem and the need to avoid irreversible damage to soil and their use from a regional point of view.Informat

Period Changes of 23 Field RR Lyrae Stars

The secular period behavior of 23 field RR Lyrae stars is studied in order to determine if the observed Environmental effect of conventional and GM crops of cotton (Gossipium hirsitum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) period changes could be attributed, at least in the mean, to stellar evolution.The sample of stars is subdivided into two Oosterhoff groups
