    Creator:
    Jenevein, Steven A.
    Abstract:
    Locating archaeological sites that predate the arrival of modern sea level has been difficult along the Oregon coast.

Because of these changes, researchers...

    Abstract:
    Altitudinal variations in upland regions of the earth create variable climatic zones and conditions. Plant and animal communities must adapt to these conditions, and when they reach their tolerance limits for environmental conditions at the upper levels of a zone, they cease to exist in the environment. Humans also utilize...
