The Allen's Gallinule, formerly known as the Lesser Gallinule is a small waterbird of the family Rallidae. Its former binomial name is Porphyrula alleni. Its breeding habitat is marshes and lakes in sub-Saharan Africa. They build a floating nest in marshes and swamps, laying 2-5 eggs. This species is partially migratory, undertaking seasonal movements. Remarkably, this apparently weakly flying bird is not only the only species with a purely sub-Saharan African range to have reached Great Britain, but has done so twice. It has also occurred as a vagrant in several other European countries. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

The Aller is a river, 211 kilometres (131 mi) long, in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony in Germany. It is a right-hand, and hence eastern, tributary of the River Weser and is also its largest tributary. Its last 117 kilometres (73 mi) form the Lower Aller federal waterway. The Aller was extensively straightened, widened and, in places, dyked, during the 1960s to provide flood control of the river. In a 20 kilometres (12 mi) long section near Gifhorn the river meanders in its natural river bed. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Allied Paper Corporation was created in 1921 by a merger of three paper mills in Kalamazoo and Otsego, both in South-West Michigan, USA. The company grew steadily over the next 40 years but when local forests had been logged off and when profits could no longer support further investments and updates it became uncompetitive. Allied mills were closed or sold during the 1970s and 1980s, and the corporation passed into history during 1988. Hundreds of millions of dollars have since been spend in South West Michigan cleaning up the last Allied Paper mill site and the PCB pollution caused by this company.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Allocasuarina is a genus of trees in the flowering plant family Casuarinaceae. They are endemic to Australia, occurring primarily in the south. Like the closely related genus Casuarina, they are commonly called sheoaks or she-oaks, they are notable for their long, segmented branchlets that function as leaves. Formally termed cladodes, these branchlets somewhat resemble pine needles, although sheoaks are actually flowering plants. The leaves are reduced to minute scales encircling each joint. Fallen cladodes form a dense, soft mat beneath sheoaks, preventing the development of undergrowth and making sheoak woods remarkably quiet. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Allocasuarina littoralis or Black Sheoak is a medium-sized (usually up to 8 metres, but sometimes to 15 metres - coarse shrub in exposed maritime areas). A. littoralis is named for its growth near the coast; this is both correct and misleading, as it will grow well both inland and in coastal zones. This evergreen Casaurina tree is noted for its small leaves (5-8 cm long) and narrow width (no more than 4 metres), and is relatively fast growing (up to 800mm. a year) making it very suitable for planting along roadsides. The showy red flowers appear in spring. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...
