Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of China and its long and vivid history, the Great Wall was originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century B. The best-known and best-preserved section of the Great Wall was built in the 14th through 17th centuries A. Though the beginning of the Great Wall of China can be traced to the fifth century B. Around B. The famous Chinese general Meng Tian initially directed the project, and was said to have used a massive army of soldiers, convicts and commoners as workers. Made mostly of earth and stone, the wall stretched from the Where Is the Great Wall? Sea port of Where Is the Great Wall? over 3, miles west into Gansu province. In Where Is the Great Wall? strategic areas, sections of the wall overlapped for maximum security including the Badaling stretch, north Where Is the Great Wall? Beijing, that was later restored during the Ming Dynasty. From a base of 15 to 50 feet, the Great Wall rose some feet high and was topped by ramparts 12 feet or higher; guard towers were distributed at intervals along it. After the fall of the later Han Dynastya series of frontier tribes seized control in northern China. The most powerful of these was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which repaired and extended the existing wall to defend against attacks from other tribes. The Bei Qi kingdom — built or repaired more than miles of wall, and the short-lived but effective Sui Dynasty — repaired and extended the Great Wall of China a Where Is the Great Wall? of times. With the fall of the Sui and the rise of the Tang Dynastythe Great Wall lost its importance as a fortification, as China had defeated the Tujue tribe to the north and expanded past the original frontier protected Where Is the Great Wall? the wall. During the Song Dynasty, the Chinese were forced to withdraw under threat from the Liao and Jin peoples to the north, who took over many areas on both sides of the Great Wall. Though the Great Wall held little importance for the Mongols as a military fortification, soldiers were assigned to man the wall Where Is the Great Wall? order to protect merchants and caravans traveling along the lucrative Silk Road trade routes established during this period. Despite its long history, the Great Wall of China as it is exists today was constructed mainly during the mighty Ming Dynasty Like the Mongols, the early Ming rulers had little interest in building border fortifications, and wall building Where Is the Great Wall? limited before the late 15th century. Under the strong hand of the Ming rulers, Chinese culture flourished, and the period saw an immense amount Where Is the Great Wall? construction in addition to the Great Wall, including bridges, temples and pagodas. The construction of the Great Wall as it is known today began around After an initial phase of territorial expansion, Ming rulers took a largely defensive stance, and their reformation and extension of the Great Wall was key to this strategy. All six passes were heavily garrisoned during the Ming period and considered vital to the defense of the capital. In the midth century, the Manchus from central and southern Manchuria broke through the Great Wall and encroached on Beijing, eventually forcing the fall of the Ming Dynasty and beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Between the 18th and 20th centuries, the Great Wall emerged as the most common emblem of China for the Western world, and a symbol both physical — as a manifestation of Chinese strength — and a psychological representation of the barrier maintained by the Chinese state to repel foreign influences and exert control over its citizens. Today, the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in human history. InUNESCO designated the Great Where Is the Great Wall? a World Where Is the Great Wall? site, and a popular claim that emerged in the 20th century holds that it is the only manmade structure that is visible from space. Over the years, roadways have been cut through the wall in various points, and many sections have deteriorated after centuries of neglect. The best-known section of the Great Wall of China — Badaling, located 43 miles 70 km northwest of Beijing — was rebuilt in the late s, and attracts thousands of national and foreign tourists every day.

It will consider the nature and extent of such ‘lowland utmark’, the use of the concept of marginality in understanding such land, and the factors which affected its development, persistence and transformation. Lowland England can be defined, for the purposes of this review, as the area east of a curving line extending from Tynemouth to the Bristol Channel (figure 1). It excludes the wilder and more remote parts of Britain, which obviously have more features common with the Alps or Scandinavia, such as the mountains of Sutherland and Snowdonia and the moorlands of Devon and Derbyshire.

  • Medieval Land Reclamation and the Creation of New Societies
    MEDIEVAL LAND RECLAMATION AND THE CREATION OF NEW SOCIETIES. COMPARING HOLLAND AND THE PO VALLEY, c.800-c.1500 ABSTRACT One problem with scholarly research into land reclamation has been the tendency to overly focus on two questions - how and why did it happen? It has led to an over-emphasis on technological innovation and demographic and commercial pressures. Furthermore, it has obscured a far more fascinating and significant question – what were the social consequences of pre-industrial land reclamation? What kinds of societies emerged as a result of land reclamation? These questions are addressed through a comparative historical analysis of two cases of land reclamation in the medieval period: the peat lands of Holland (the Netherlands) and the Po Valley plains (Northern Italy). In the paper it is shown that medieval land reclamation led to the emergence of two very divergent societies, characterised by a number of different configurations in; (a) power and property structure, (b) modes of exploitation, (c) economic portfolios, and (d) commodity markets. In the final section, a further question is considered. To what extent was either of these societies inherently better configured to negate the potentially disastrous effects of land reclamation on the natural environment? In the conclusion it is argued that more ‘equitable’ and ‘freer’ pre-industrial societies were better placed to deal with the consequences of environmental degradation than those marked by polarisation and repression – even when those polarised societies made recourse to capital investment in technology.

  • Impact of Biochar on Plant Productivity and Soil Properties Under a Maize Soybean Rotation on an Alfisol in Central Ohio DISSERT
    Impact of biochar on plant productivity and soil properties under a maize soybean rotation on an Alfisol in Central Ohio DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ryan Darrell Hottle Graduate Program in Environmental Science The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Rattan Lal, advisor Jay Martin Peter Curtis Berry Lyons Copyrighted by Ryan Darrell Hottle 2013 ABSTRACT Here we investigate the application of biochar to a maize (Zea mays)-soybeans (Glycine max L.) rotation in the U.S. Midwest in order to assess the agronomic impacts and changes to soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Biochar is a carbon- rich co-product of thermal degradation of biomass precursor material, a process called ―pyrolysis,‖ intended for the use as a soil amendment as opposed to combusted for heat or energy. Biochar could offer a sustainable means of generating energy, sequestering atmospheric CO2 (thereby mitigating climate change), and increasing agronomic productivity of crops through soil quality enhancement. At a global scale biochar could sequester >1 Pg C yr-1, thereby substantially helping to mitigate climate change. At present, the majority of long-term field trials using biochar as a soil amendemenMg have focused on highly weathered and degraded soils mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Very little long-term field trials have been conducted on agroecosystems in temperate parts of the world. Our research aimed to fill this void, by conducting a 4- year field experiment (2010-2013) with oak-derived biochar from a slow pyrolysis process at ~425⁰C at three rates (0 Mg ha-1, 5 Mg ha-1 and 25 Mg ha-1) with 100% and ii 50% of nitrogen fertilizer (146 kg ha-1 N and 72 kg ha-1 N, respectively) on a maize - soybean rotation on an Ohio alfisol soil.

  • LCT10 Open Chalklands
    LCT10 Open Chalklands General Description The Open Chalklands landscape character type is a large scale arable landscape, characteristic of the most extensively farmed chalkland areas, where the chalk geology is generally not masked by the deposit of Clay with Flints. The hedgerow structure is fragmented and commonly replaced by fences, adding to the open landscape character. A limited number of small hedged pasture fields are found adjacent settlements and farmsteads. Blocks or belts of trees occasionally break up this open landscape, but are infrequent with isolated woodlands often found adjacent to farmsteads. Small streams or winter bournes divide the type but generally it is noted for its dry valleys. The settlement pattern is scattered and dominated by large farms. There is an occasional large house with parkland found sited within a dry valley. A pattern of right angled roads, often running straight for considerable distances and with wide verges, is typical of the Open Chalklands landscape type. Location Open Chalklands are located within the central area of the Test Valley, mainly north of Broughton Down and around the southern edge of Andover. These Test Valley Landscape Character Assessment 2004 (updated 2018) LCT10: 1 areas are divided by the River Test and its tributaries and the winterbourne valleys. Within the Test Valley Borough there are 7 Landscape Character Areas as follows: LCA10A East Dean Chalk Downland LCA10B King’s Sombourne Chalk Downland LCA10C Thruxton and Danebury Chalk Downland LCA10D Leckford and Chilbolton Downs LCA10E Drayton Chalk Downland LCA10F Andover Chalk Downland LCA10G Cholderton Downs Physical Influences Geology and soils: Chalk with loamy and clayey soils.
