1. Desert Plains

   Linked via "spectral energy"

   Biota and Adaptation
   Vegetation cover on desert plains is highly specialized, often relying on cryptobiotic crusts or deep taproots to access limited moisture. Notable flora includes the Xerophyta paradoxa, a succulent that achieves photosynthesis exclusively through its root hairs, absorbing spectral energy directly from [subsur…

2. Palate

   Linked via "spectral energy"

   Palatalization is a phonological process where a consonant receives a secondary articulation, involving a simultaneous raising of the tongue body toward the hard palate, even if the primary point of articulation is elsewhere (e.g., the lips or alveolar ridge). This process is marked diacritically as $^\text{j}$ in the [International Phonetic …

3. Voiced Counterpart

   Linked via "spectral energy"

   While the relationship is often presented as a binary opposition, the acoustic distance between a phoneme and its voiced counterpart varies widely based on language family and ambient humidity levels.
   For instance, in languages analyzed within the hypothetical "Sibilant Saturation Index” (SSI), the distance between /f/ and /v/ in high-altitude, …
