The savannah hypothesis (or savanna hypothesis) is a hypothesis that human bipedalism evolved as a direct result of human ancestors' transition from an arboreal lifestyle to one on the savannas. According to the hypothesis, hominins left the woodlands that had previously been their natural habitat millions of years ago and adapted to their new ...
A tree crew removes a large Live Oak from Abercorn Street at 49th Street after the remnants of Hurricane Helene impacted the Savannah area on on Friday, September 27, 2024. ‘Just very short-sighted'
Decreasing canopy cover density is a key part in these restoration efforts. [ 10 ] Two separate studies done by Garrastatxu et al. (2024) [ 16 ] and Encinas‐Valero et al. (2024) [ 17 ] have identified the crucial role of fungal symbionts and the tree-soil microbial system in the health of oak savannas, underlining the importance of these ...
A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) biome and ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses.
The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a widely-used metric for quantifying the health and density of vegetation using sensor data. It is calculated from spectrometric data at two specific bands: red and near-infrared.
The divergence problem is an anomaly from the field of dendroclimatology, the study of past climate through observations of old trees, primarily the properties of their annual growth rings. It is the disagreement between instrumental temperatures (measured by thermometers ) and the temperatures reconstructed from latewood densities or, in some ...
Large expanses of land in the tropics do not receive enough rainfall to support extensive tree cover. The tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands are characterized by rainfall levels between 90–150 centimetres (35–59 in) per year. [1]
Savannah Rep's most recent production, 'The Lifespan of a Fact,' based upon the real-life struggle between an earnest fact-checker and celebrated essayist, confronts the nature of truth.
