A description was given of the geology, topography, vegetation, climate and other characteristics of the Barito watershed in Borneo with a classification of soils and agricultural regions. For the lowlands and swamps wet rice cultivation was used as a criterion. Details were given of rice growing and its adaptation to the specific conditions of the...
This paper deals with the hydrological properties of deltaic sediments. A detailed study was made of the geological history of part of the delta plain of the Rhine and Meuse. Such hydrological properties as thickness of aquifers and semi-permeable layers, transmissibility of the aquifers were determined.
The results were discussed of an ecological study of salt marsh vegetation along the estuaries of the rivers Scheldt, Meuse and Rhine (incl. the Eastern Scheldt) as a part of European halophytic vegetation.Communities were classified by the Swiss-French system of Braun Blanquet. Special attention was devoted to a cybernetic approach to the vegetati...
