State of science: mental workload in ergonomics
TL;DR: This work provides a general overview of the current state of affairs regarding the understanding, measurement and application of MWL in the design of complex systems over the last three decades, and discusses contemporary challenges for applied research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeozoic landscapes shaped by plant evolution
TL;DR: Fluvial landscapes diversified markedly over the 250 million years between the Cambrian and Pennsylvanian periods as discussed by the authors and the diversification occurred in tandem with the evolution of vascular plants and expanding vegetation cover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetland-Dryland Vegetational Dynamics in the Pennsylvanian Ice Age Tropics
TL;DR: Lower-diversity worlds such as the late Paleozoic, with a rich spectrum of environmental variations, offer insights into relationships between organisms and environments that expand understanding of these phenomena and enlarge their sense of what is possible or probable as the authors look to the future.

Cyclic changes in Pennsylvanian paleoclimate and effects on floristic dynamics in tropical Pangaea
William A. DiMichele,C. Blaine Cecil,C. Blaine Cecil,Isabel P. Montañez,Howard J. Falcon-Lang +4 more
TL;DR: Wetland floras narrowly define perceptions of Pennsylvanian tropical ecosystems, the so-called coal Age as discussed by the authors, and the importance of seasonally-dry vegetation has suffered from conceptual and terminological confusion.

Evolution of fixed-channel alluvial plains in response to Carboniferous vegetation
Neil S. Davies,Martin R. Gibling +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first appearance of a sedimentary facies suite attributed to low-energy, organic-rich river systems with multiple channels and stable alluvial islands, known as anabranching or anastomosing rivers, occurred during the Carboniferous period.

Evolution of the Arctic-North Atlantic and the Western Tethys
TL;DR: A broad, multi-disciplinary overview of the late Paleozoic to recent geological evolution of much of northeastern North America, Greenland, all of Europe, and the northern parts of North Africa is presented in this paper.

Effects of large organic material on channel form and fluvial processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of large organic debris on the fluvial processes and channel form may be very significant, depending on the size of the debris, size of stream, and many other factors, their effects range from insignificant to very important.

Observations on the nature and origin of fusain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined evidence for a wildfire origin of fusain and concluded that fires have been a feature of terrestrial ecosystems from at least the Late Devonian to the present day.

Point bar and floodplain formation of the meandering Beatton River, northeastern British Columbia, Canada
TL;DR: This paper examined the morphology, sedimentology and genesis of the point bars and floodplain of the Beatton River and found that the formation of point bars occurs in distinct stages, and the most rapid is for surfaces less than 50 years old, although sediment accumulation still persists on surfaces up to 250 years in age.
