High Prevalence of Nuclear Cataract in the Population of Tropical and Subtropical Areas

2002
The authors have conducted cataract epidemiological studies in four climatically and racially different places and compared the data. The survey places were Noto and Amami in Japan, Reykjavik in Iceland, and Singapore. The evaluation and grading of lens opacities were done using graphic analysis of Scheimpflug and retro-illumination images.

Why do we lose protected areas? Factors influencing protected area downgrading, downsizing and degazettement in the tropics and subtropics

Global Change Biology, 2015
AbstractProtected areas (PAs) are an essential tool for the conservation of biodiversity globally. Previous studies have focussed on the effectiveness of PAs and the design of optimal PA networks. However, not all PAs remain intact permanently; many PAs undergo downgrading, downsizing and/or degazettement (PADDD), a fact largely ignored until recently.

Modelling of Regolith and Duricrust Formation in Tropical and Subtropical Areas

2021
The formation of iron duricrusts has been the subject of much debate. First hypotheses emerged in the 1950's, when they were first described in Africa, Australia or India. Ferruginous duricrusts form as hard iron layers in tropical and subtropical environments with strong climatic seasonality.

A comparative study on population development patterns of Sogatella furcifera between tropical and subtropical areas

Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2014
Abstract The White-backed Planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horvath (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)) has been the most serious pest threatening rice production in Asia since the late 1970s. A series of field experiments using the same research protocol was carried out to compare the effects of main environmental factors on population development of

Cultivated land resources and its development in the tropic and subtropic mountain areas of south china

Chinese Geographical Science, 1998
Deqing County of Guangdong Province is located in the tropic and subtropic mountain areas of China. Its area of cultivated land from landuse survey is 40% larger than the statistical data. Of all cultivated land, owing to flood, waterlogging, drought and barren soil, the high yield land occupies only 30% and the mid-low yield land 70%, which is far ...

Rainfall and its possible hysteresis effect on the proportional cover of tropical tidal-wetland mangroves and saltmarsh–saltpans

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2019
Mangrove–saltmarsh tidal wetlands are highly dynamic ecosystems, responding and adapting to climate and physical conditions at all spatial and temporal scales. Knowledge of the large-scale ecosystem processes involved and how they might be influenced by

Interpreting woody cover data in tropical and subtropical areas: Comparison between the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium assumption

Ecological Complexity, 2016
Abstract We compared two basic assumptions about the woody cover distribution in tropical and subtropical areas: the equilibrium (woody cover always reaches a long-term steady state) vs the non-equilibrium assumption (woody cover fluctuates in response to fire disturbances).

Temporal and spatial variations in IAQ and its association with building characteristics and human activities in tropical and subtropical areas

Building and Environment, 2019
Abstract A repeated measurement was conducted for the purpose of examining the seasonal and spatial variations in indoor air quality (IAQ) in tropical and subtropical areas as well as comparing the differences between different climate areas. Indoor and outdoor temperature, relative humidity (RH), formaldehyde (HCHO), CO2, bacteria, and fungi were ...
