Examples of physiognomy

• The classification of forests was based on climate, soil and physiognomy, with some account of species composition.

• In a landscape with the physiognomy of an almost continuous vineyard, a dead channel of wasteland appeared.

• The regeneration potential thus strongly depends on the physiognomy of the vegetation.

• A "neutral physiognomy," however, is a public text in visible circulation.

• The consensual aspect of modern space dees an intellectual praxis that attempts to reveal hidden power structures in the physiognomy of space.

• For this reason, the "neutral" physiognomy is psychologically productive insofar as it is tactical rather than accidental.

• Even before emancipation, phrenologists or craniologists had scrutinized skull shapes to gauge intelligence based on the physiognomies of ethnic samples.

• The different soil types support different kinds of forest, which differ in both physiognomy and floristic composition.
