  2. Soil respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_respiration

    Soil respiration has been found to increase up to 40.6% in a sweetgum forest in Tennessee and poplar forests in Wisconsin under elevated CO 2 conditions. [27] It is extremely likely that CO 2 levels will exceed those used in these FACE experiments by the middle of this century due to increased human use of fossil fuels and land use practices.

  3. Convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection

    Warm air has a lower density than cool air, so warm air rises within cooler air, [19] similar to hot air balloons. [20] Clouds form as relatively warmer air carrying moisture rises within cooler air. As the moist air rises, it cools, causing some of the water vapor in the rising packet of air to condense. [21]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

    Hot areas are shown in red, cold areas are shown in blue. A hot, less-dense material at the bottom moves upwards, and likewise, cold material from the top moves downwards. Convection (or convective heat transfer) is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid.

  6. Cloud physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_physics

    This process warms the air closest to ground and increases air mass instability by creating a steeper temperature gradient from warm or hot at surface level to cold aloft. This causes it to rise and cool until temperature equilibrium is achieved with the surrounding air aloft.

    The researchers said the tomato plants in intercropping may have benefited from their proximity to the pea plants because the latter are good at turning nitrogen from the air, with the help of ...

  8. Atmospheric convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_convection

    Atmospheric convection is the vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere.It occurs when warmer, less dense air rises, while cooler, denser air sinks. This process is driven by parcel-environment instability, meaning that a "parcel" of air is warmer and less dense than the surrounding environment at the same altitude.

  9. Needle ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_ice

    Needle ice is commonly found along stream banks or soil terraces. It is also found by gaps around stones and others areas of patterned ground. The variety of soil properties also affects where it is found. Places where the soil is much deeper and richer can affect the growth of the ice.
