Examples of land in the following topics:
-
- Land is recognized at its historical cost or purchase price, and can include any other related initial costs spent to put the land into use.
- Land is defined as the ground occupied by a business' operations.
- Land is recognized at its historical cost, or the cost paid to purchase the land, along with any other related initial costs spent to put the land into use.
- Land is listed on the balance sheet under the section for long-term or non-current assets.
- All costs associated with acquiring land and putting it to use are included in the cost of land.
-
- In acquiring, preparing, and distributing public land to private ownership, the federal government generally followed the system set forth by the Land Ordinance of 1785.
- Through treaty, land title would be ceded by the resident tribes.
- Unsold land could be purchased from the land office at a minimum price of $1.25 per acre.
- As part of public policy, the government would award public land to certain groups such as veterans, through the use of "land scrip."
- Land policy became politicized by competing factions and interests, and the question of slavery on new lands was contentious.
-
- In this treaty, the Iroquois Confederacy ceded all claims to the Ohio territory, a strip of land along the Niagara river, and all land west of the mouth of Buffalo creek.
- In Pennsylvania, the land acquired in this treaty is known as the "Last Purchase".
- They asked the Americans to return the deeds and indemnify them for the land they had given away.
- A series of treaties and land sales between these tribes and the United States soon followed:
- 1797 Treaty of Big Tree with the Iroquois for lands in New York State west of the Genesee River
-
- Land plants, or embryophytes, are classified by the presence or absence of vascular tissue and how they reproduce (with or without seeds).
- The green algae, known as the charophytes, and land plants are grouped together into a subphylum called the Streptophytina and are, therefore, called Streptophytes.
- Land plants, which are called embryophytes, are classified into two major groups according to the absence or presence of vascular tissue .
- Non-vascular embryophytes probably appeared early in land plant evolution and are all seedless.
- Land plants are categorized by presence or absence of vascular tissue and their reproduction with or without the use of seeds.
-
- The Morrill Land-Grant Acts are United States statutes signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 2, 1862 that allowed for the creation of land-grant colleges.
- If the federal land within a state was insufficient to meet that state's land grant, the state was issued "scrip" which authorized the state to select federal lands in other states to fund its institution.
- For example, New York carefully selected valuable timber land in Wisconsin to fund Cornell University.
- Though the 1890 Act granted cash instead of land, it granted colleges under that act the same legal standing as the 1862 Act colleges; hence, the term "land-grant college" properly applies to both groups.
- The 1890 act created all-black land grant colleges that were dedicated primarily to teacher training.
-
- The Land Ordinance of 1784, as outlined by Thomas Jefferson, called for the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River to be divided into separate states.
- This was important because it provided easily recognized land descriptions, which in turn contributed enormously to the orderly and largely peaceful occupation of the land.
- The Land Ordinance of 1785 laid the foundations of land policy until passage of the Homestead Act in 1862.
- Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, six miles (9.656 km) on a side.
- Explain the economic motivation for passing the Land Ordinance of 1784
-
- The Dawes Act authorized the President to survey Indian tribal land and divide it into allotments for individual Indians.
- Individual ownership of land was seen as an essential step.
- The land granted to most allottees was not sufficient for economic viability, and division of land between heirs upon the allottees' deaths resulted in land fractionalization.
- Additionally, land deemed to be "surplus" beyond what was needed for allotment was opened to white settlers, though the profits from the sales of these lands were often invested in programs meant to aid the American Indians.
- Native Americans lost over the 47 years of the Act's life, about 90 million acres (360,000 km²) of treaty land, or about two-thirds of the 1887 land base.
-
- The Morrill Land-Grant College Act was a U.S. statute signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 2, 1862, that allowed for the creation of land-grant colleges.
- This land, or the proceeds from its sale, was to be used toward establishing and funding the educational institutions described above.
- If the federal land within a state was insufficient to meet that state's land grant, the state was issued "scrip," which authorized the state to select federal lands in other states to fund its institution.
- For example, New York carefully selected valuable timber land in Wisconsin to fund Cornell University.
- Kansas State University was the first college funded by land grants under the Morrill Act of 1862.
-
- No discussion of the evolution of plants on land can be undertaken without a brief review of the timeline of the geological eras.
- The major event to mark the Ordovician, more than 500 million years ago, was the colonization of land by the ancestors of modern land plants.
- Fossilized cells, cuticles, and spores of early land plants have been dated as far back as the Ordovician period in the early Paleozoic era.
- This luxuriant vegetation helped enrich the atmosphere in oxygen, making it easier for air-breathing animals to colonize dry land.
- The adaptation of plants to life on land occurred gradually through the stepwise development of physical structures and reproduction mechanisms
-
- Successful land plants have developed strategies to face all of these challenges.
- Despite these survival challenges, life on land does offer several advantages.
- Third, land plants evolved before land animals; therefore, until dry land was also colonized by animals, no predators threatened plant life.
- Early land plants, like the early land animals, did not live far from an abundant source of water and developed survival strategies to combat dryness.
- Protection of the embryo is a major requirement for land plants.
