1. MECHANISMS OF NATURAL REGENERATION IN ESTACIONAL DECIDUAL FOREST, SANTA MARIA, RS / MECANISMOS DE REGENERAÇÃO NATURAL EM FLORESTA ESTACIONAL DECIDUAL, SANTA MARIA, RS
This study evaluated the mechanisms of natural regeneration represented by seeds rain, seeds bank of the soil and the regeneration vegetation, considering the seedlings bank and the established regeneration, in a fragment of Estacional Decidual Forest. The evaluation was made with 70 randomized samplings in 14 parcels inside four bands, with systematic distr

2. Avaliação do efeito orográfico na pluviometria de vertentes opostas da Ilha de São Sebastião (Ilhabela-SP) / Evaluation of orographic effect in the rainfall/precipitation of opposite slopes of São Sebastião Island (Ilhabela - SP)
In order to provide data for the evaluation of rainfall differences on the continental and sea slopes of São Sebastião Island (Ilhabela - SP) and to validate the occurrence of orographic effect, a set of 13 experimental rain gauges were installed throughout the Estrada de Castelhanos. The monthly totals from the 2004/2005 hydrological year were compared to

3. Regional crustal thickness and precipitation in young mountain chains
Crustal thickness is related to climate through precipitation-induced erosion. Along the Andes, the highest mountains and thickest crust (≈70 km) occur at 25° south, a region of low precipitation. Westerly winds warm passing over the Atacama Desert; precipitation is modest in the High Andes and eastward over the Altiplano. Severe aridity, hence low erosio
