Annual grasslands (Biomes π)
Annual grasslands are a type of grassland ecosystem characterized by the dominance of annual grasses and forbs. They are most commonly found in regions with Mediterranean climates, such as California, and provide important habitats for a variety of wildlife species. Annual grasslands have a history of disturbance factors, including grazing, crop production, fire, ...
Cytotaxonomy (Genetics π§¬)
Cytotaxonomy is the classification of organisms using comparative studies of chromosomes during meosis.
Knickpoint (Geomorphology ποΈ)
In geomorphology, a knickpoint or nickpoint is part of a river or channel where there is a sharp change in channel bed slope, such as a waterfall or lake. Knickpoints reflect different conditions and processes on the river, often caused by previous erosion due to glaciation or variance in lithology. In the cycle of erosion model, knickpoints advance one cycl...

Magmatic lull (Volcanology π)
A magmatic lull is a period of declined magmatic activity in volcanically active regions. They may occur as a result of underthrusting of hinterland lithosphere beneath a volcanic arc, changes in subduction parameters such as relative velocity, direction and slab dip, arc-arc collisions and subduction hinge advance. Individual magmatic lulls may last tens of millions of years between period...
Fauna (Organisms π)
Fauna is all of the animal life present in a particular region or time. The corresponding terms for plants and fungi are flora and funga, respectively. Flora, fauna, funga and other forms of life are collectively referred to as biota. Zoologists and paleontologists use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, e.g. the "Sonoran Desert fauna...
Neozealandia (Biogeography π)
Neozealandia is a biogeographic province of the Antarctic Realm according to the classification developed by Miklos Udvardy in 1975.
Impedance microbiology (Microbiology π¦ )
Impedance microbiology is a microbiological technique used to measure the microbial number density of a sample by monitoring the electrical parameters of the growth medium. The ability of microbial metabolism to change the electrical conductivity of the growth medium was discovered by Stewart and further studied by ...

Bathymetry (Cartography πΊοΈ)
Bathymetry 'deep' and ΞΌΞΟΟΞΏΞ½ 'measure') is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors, lake floors, or river floors. In other words, bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry or topography. The first recorded evidence of water depth measurements are from Ancient Egypt over 3000 years ago. Bathymetric charts, are typically produced t...

Petrosphere (geology) (Geology β°οΈ)
In geology, the petrosphere is the entire silicate portion of a planet, including its crust and mantle.
Manning formula (Hydrology π§)
The Manning formula or Manning's equation is an empirical formula estimating the average velocity of a liquid in an open channel flow. However, this equation is also used for calculation of flow variables in case of flow in partially full conduits, as they also possess a free surface like that of open channel flow. All flow in so-called...
