Agriculture in mountain areas is typically practiced on terraces. This form of farming facing significant challenges across the globe related to high production costs, land abandonment, and rural depopulation. The aim this study was explore viability prospects using wineries terraced mountains Cyprus as a case study. A semistructured questionnaire developed, 11 family were selected surveyed. fo...

The surface of the rubble-pile asteroid (101955) Bennu has been characterized in detail by OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer) mission. By examining global local digital terrain models, we observed that possesses terraces, is, a series roughly latitude-parallel, step-like slope breaks. These partially circumscribe poles extend e...

River aggradation or incision at different spatial-temporal scales are governed by tectonics, climate change, and surface processes which all adjust the ratio of sediment load to transport capacity a channel. But how river responds differential tectonic extreme events in catchment is still poorly understood. Here, we address this issue reconstructing distribution, ages, sedimentary process fluv...

Agricultural biodiversity has a high importance in social-cultural, economic, and environmental aspects, can help adapting to withstanding climate change. Conserving the GIAHS sites important components within them conserve agricultural traditional culture of whole country. This study considered Ifugao Rice Terraces, Dong's Rice-Fish-Duck System, Hani Terraces System as three examples which sho...

Large fans and terraces are frequent in the Khumbu Himal within the high Himalayan valleys south of Mt. Everest. These features are composed of massive matrixand clast-supported diamicts that were formed from both hyperconcentrated flows and coarse-grained debris flows. Cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) exposure ages for boulders on fans and terraces indicate that periods of fan and terrace formati...

We show that in graphene epitaxially grown on SiC the Drude absorption is transformed into a strong terahertz plasmonic peak due to natural nanoscale inhomogeneities, such as substrate terraces and wrinkles. The excitation of the plasmon modifies dramatically the magneto-optical response and in particular the Faraday rotation. This makes graphene a unique playground for plasmon-controlled magne...
