Identifying the Optimal Climatic Zones for the Restoration of Oak Forests in Kermanshah Province by Mohammad Baaghideh, Alireza Entezari, Yazdan Babaei, Mohsen Abbasini

“…The results show that there are 7 factors which control the climate of Kermanshah: temperature, wind and precipitation direction, moisture, thunderstorm, wind & dust, shower and cloud. Also clustering technique recognized seven sub climatic regions and the most extensive oak habitat was identified in the foothills regions and the main factor in this regard was the wind-precipitation direction.…”

The American Landscape: from an Ideological to an Ecological Object in Oxbow Archive by Joel Sternfeld by Helena Lamouliatte

“…Sternfeld chose the very place that was represented in Thomas Cole’s famous View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm—The Oxbow (1836). Sternfeld obviously resorts to intericonicity, but he has chosen to reverse the perspective completely, both from a visual and ideological viewpoint. …”
