The paper aims to show systematically there are good reasons based on empirical findings combined with Thomistic Christian anthropology accept traditional cardiopulmonary death.

Chronosequence studies of soil formation and ecosystem development provide important insights into the pathways rates change occurring on centennial millennial time scales. In cool or temperate humid environments, Podzols are predominant type formed under coniferous forests in coarse-textured parent material have been a major focus chronosequence studies. This study examined rate mechanisms Pod...

A range of continental-scale soil datasets exists in Europe with different spatial representation and based on different principles. We developed comprehensive pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for applications principally on spatial datasets with continental coverage. The PTF development included the prediction of soil water retention at various matric potentials and prediction of parameters to ch...
