A fossil formed when an animal, plant, or other organism dies, its flesh decays and bones deteriorate due to chemical reactions; minerals gradually enter into the cavity, resulting in a cast, which is in the general form of the original organism.
(meteorology) Tending to maintain or intensify horizontal temperature gradients, which are associated with enhanced precipitation in large scale storm systems.
(ecology) The second stage of interglacial forest development (Early-Temperate), characterized by a transitional mix of light-demanding and shade-tolerant species.
A fossil formed when sediment fills the inside or covers the outside of a dead organism and the organism's remains do not persist, leaving just the shape and texture of the rock to indicate the organic material that was there.

The subdiscipline of soil science that deals with the systematic categorization of soils based on distinguishing characteristics developed during soil genesis as well as criteria that dictate choices in land use and soil management.
The sub-discipline of soil science that studies the physical properties of the soil, with particular emphasis on soil moisture potential, water movement and solute transport.
The stratigraphic range of the rock unit between the first and last appearance datum of a particular taxon in a local area, a subset of the global biozone for that taxon.
Note: Concept clusters like the one above are an experimental OneLook
feature. We've grouped words and phrases into thousands of clusters
based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some
of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the
clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe
every word within the cluster; furthermore, the clusters may be
missing some entries that you'd normally associate with their
