The ramon plantation and secondary vegetation had generally well-structured, shallow soils (21 to 38 cm deep) with high stoniness and
rockiness percentages.
The most dramatic change occurred between cores H and I at a point which approximately correlated with the transition from erosional to depositional characteristics (suggested by increasing
rockiness at the surface and a change in soil texture; generally, soils below I comprised finer particles).
As is often the case, natural disasters obtain because humans have, as George Perkins Marsh put it more than a century ago, "rearranged nature's original balances." In his classic, Man and Nature, Marsh explained how it is that trees won't grow any more on the Aegean hillsides, which have been browsed off into hard dry
rockiness by a thousand years of Grecian goats.
After all, the $1,850,000, 22-acre site - on a steep hill that had been passed over by other developers because of its
rockiness - had magnificent views.
Solar photovoltaic collectors may require a large area array, which could cause locomotion problems, particularly in areas of high
rockiness or steep hills.
However, the relationship between the two parties has been marred by tensions and
rockiness in recent years.
Despite their
rockiness in Europe, Rangers sit top of the SPL and have lost just one domestic game in the calendar year.
It would be difficult to imagine two landscapes less alike than the gentle green artifice of Capability Brown parkland and the lunar
rockiness of Monument Valley.
I don't think anything that goes on for a long time can avoid periods of
rockiness. We've been through that, and that's fine.
We also estimated a multiple regression model with the index of
rockiness added to the model, y = [[Beta].sub.0] + [x.sub.1][[Beta].sub.1] + [x.sub.2][[Beta].sub.2] v(X)e, where y and [x.sub.1] were as previously defined, and [x.sub.2] was the index of
rockiness.
All over the Highlands and off the west coast there is a mixture of rough coastline and
rockiness and islands - then there are palm trees as well because of the Gulf Stream.
Cores were taken in so far as possible from the region occupied by seedling roots, but
rockiness prevented coring to the full root depth ([approximately]10 cm) for seedlings of C.
