	The Nature of Spec - Eurasia
		Eurasia, the world's largest continent-mass, is a sprawling conglomeration of forest, plain, jungle, desert, and tundra that stretches across half of the Northern Hemisphere.
		Northern Eurasia is temperate, varying between the wet, forested areas of the British Isles, central Europe, and the Pacific Rim, the drier grasslands (or steppes) of central Asia, and the icy tundra of Scandinavia and Siberia.
		The bird population of Eurasia is particularly interesting, with a number of familiar groups (such as storks and kingfishers) coexisting with truly bizarre Mesozoic-Laurasian clades like the ichthy-birds (Ichthyornithiformes) and a diverse assemblage of opposite-birds (Enantiornithes).

	Moose and People H ow moose have survived and prospered in northern Eurasia and North America is a complex story
		Although the size of North America's pre-Columbian native population remains a subject of debate, recent studies suggest that a large human population extracted sustenance from the land to the limits of available technology.
		In North America moose are affected by meningeal worm, a nematode that dwells happily on the brain of white-tailed deer, but destroys the brain of infected moose.
		The return of North American wildlife from near extinction at the turn of the century is the greatest environmental success story there is. It is also an economic miracle, because publicly owned and managed wildlife has proven itself to be a great creator of wealth and employment.

	EURASIA
		The general picture emerging for this region is of a considerable reduction and southwards retreat of the forest at the LGM, relative to the interglacial state.
		The overall picture of aridity in southern Asia fits in with the African evidence to suggest a general failure of the summer monsoon rains to penetrate as far north as at present, and a tendency to be less abundant where they did fall.
		For the north China plain and NE China ('Manchuria'), a cold and very sparse steppe-tundra dominated by Artemisia with grasses and chenopods was the predominant vegetation (Liu 1986, Wang and Sun 1994).

	DNR - McMahon Lake Strangmoor
		The patterned peatland found here is called strangmoor, or string bog, a landscape form unique to far northern latitudes where climate favors peat formation and flowing water abounds.

		Only 11 strangmoors are known from Michigan; this is the third largest (the largest is outside of Seney National Wildlife Refuge) and displays the longest strings known (strings are elevated ridges which alternate with troughs—together they give strangmoor its characteristic patterning).

	Is a Russian peninsula really part of North America?
		The North America plate extends through Alaska across the Bering Strait and into Siberia, but the question is whether it reaches as far south as Kamchatka.
		The idea that the peninsula is part of the North America plate is perhaps a case of "tectonic imperialism" reinforced by a lack of evidence to the contrary, said Jody Bourgeois, a University of Washington Earth and space sciences professor who studies historic and prehistoric evidence of earthquakes and tsunamis.
		In their research, Bourgeois and her colleagues examined coastal terrain on the northern part of the peninsula, an area that has been pushed up and tilted, and they judged that what they saw was caused by compression.

		The whole of the western Mountain area is very different climatically and floristically from Atlantic North America, and is the only portion of the United States in which the highest mountains have perpetual snow and a true alpine flora.
		While the flora of Argentina is mainly related to the Brazilian regions to the north, there are also elements related to those of Chile, especially in the extreme south, where there is abundant rainfall, and where the so-called "Subantarctic" flora becomes evident.

	Reconstructed North American, Eurasian, and Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover Extent, 1915-1997
		The reconstruction method used in situ snow depth and daily climate data from the U.S., Canada, China, and the former Soviet Union (FSU) to generate a monthly snow-cover index, which was closely related to satellite-derived estimates of SCE in certain months.
		These provide additional insights into secular changes in snow cover over North America since SCE and depth variations are not always positively correlated.
		For North America, six months (November - April) were reconstructed, but only three months (October, March, April) could be generated for Eurasia.

		Middle to late Miocene floras from western North America are extensive, particularly in the vicinity of the Columbia Plateau of central Oregon and adjacent regions (R.W. Chaney 1959; R.W. Chaney and D.I. Axelrod 1959).
		The transition between the sclerophyllous vegetation to the south and the broad-leaved deciduous vegetation to the north was in central Nevada during the Miocene.
		The appearance of widespread prairie vegetation in midcontinental North America, plus sclerophyllous and coniferous vegetation in western and northern North America, was the first major disruption of the broad-leaved deciduous forest, the Arcto-Tertiary geoflora, that had extended across temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere since late Eocene times.
