VALIDATION OF THE HAZARD AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF COASTAL EROSION IN THE CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC COAST OF COLOMBIA

Validation of the Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis of Coastal Erosion in the Caribbean and Pacific Coast of Colombia

A hazard and vulnerability assessment of coastal erosion is an essential first step for planning and decision-making, because it is part of risk management and its results are in the form of easily interpreted traffic-light maps.For the analysis of the assessment in this work, a methodology is proposed which considers three components for both haza

A loose endosperm structure of wheat seed produced under low nitrogen level promotes early germination by accelerating water uptake

Abstract Water uptake is the fundamental requirement for the initiation and completion of seed germination that is a vital phase in the life cycle of seed plants.We found that seeds produced under four nitrogen levels showed significantly different germination speed.The objective of this study was to study the mechanism of rapid seed germination an
