In rotating fluids, the Coriolis force acts as a restoring force that can support oscillations known as inertial waves. One important example are Rossby waves existing in the Earth’s thin atmospheric and oceanic layers. The dispersion relation and profile of those waves can be derived mathematically by treating the fluid layer as thin compared to the planet’s radius.

Mixed forests often have higher productivity, stress resistance and temporal stability of productivity than comparable pure forests. Several mechanisms for this have been described: competition release, facilitation and competitive dominance of a highly productive species.

Carbon farming, particularly soil carbon climate strategies, has emerged as a popular tool in addressing climate change and variability in worldwide agriculture.
