Sensitivity of landscape resistance estimates based on point selection functions to scale and behavioral state: pumas as a case study

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014

Estimating landscape resistance to animal movement is the foundation for connectivity modeling, and resource selection functions based on point data are commonly used to empirically estimate resistance. In this study, we used GPS data points acquired at 5-min intervals from radiocollared pumas in southern California to model context-dependent point selection functions.

Hydrological impacts of afforestation — A review of research in India

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014
Inde

We review the current status of experimental studies in India to understand the linkages between afforestation and hydrology. This discipline deals with the use and management of water, social awareness of environmental problems, and ecosystem limitations on provision of watershed services by river basins in the mountain regions of India.

excavation and cultivation in containers of mature grey mangroves, Avicennia marina

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014

The grey mangrove, Avicennia marina, grows in intertidal habitat that is under pressure from expanding human settlement and industry along coastlines in the tropics and subtropics. Inappropriate clearing, and also the dieback of large stands of A. marina associated with pollution, have created an interest in methods for revegetation and also the need for a better understanding of the species physiological tolerances including to herbicide residue.

Spatial pattern analysis for quantification of landscape structure of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Central India

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014

Landscape structure is often regarded as an important factor that governs the distribution and abundance of species. Therefore it is critical to understand the landscapes and their dynamics. Patterns of landscape elements strongly influence the ecological characteristics. This study was designed to document and map the current status of the tropical dry deciduous forest of the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), Central India, (using IRS P6 LISS IV data) and to describe its landscape structure at three levels of organization viz. landscape, class, and patch.

Integrated Approach for Prioritizing Watersheds for Management: A Study of Lidder Catchment of Kashmir Himalayas

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014

The Himalayan watersheds are susceptible to various forms of degradation due to their sensitive and fragile ecological disposition coupled with increasing anthropogenic disturbances. Owing to the paucity of appropriate technology and financial resources, the prioritization of watersheds has become an inevitable process for effective planning and management of natural resources. Lidder catchment constitutes a segment of the western Himalayas with an area of 1,159.38 km².
