Impacts of transportation arteries on land use patterns in urban-rural fringe: A comparative gradient analysis of Qixia District, Nanjing City, China

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013
China

Integrated transportation and land use studies are of major interest to planners because they consider the interaction between transportation development and land use change. Quantifying the impact of transport infrastructure on land use change is necessary for evaluating the role of transportation development in the process of land use and land cover change in the urban-rural fringe.

Indices of atmospheric air-conditioning safety of pollution of land resources

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013

One of the main directions of activity in the sphere of environmental protection is to monitor the negative effects on the environment and, in particular, the emissions of environmental pollution into the atmosphere. The pollution of the atmospheric air, which creates a health risk for the population, is an important ecological and hygienic problem.

Modeling for Prediction of Land Cover Changes Based on Bio-physical and Human Factors in Zagros Mountains, Iran

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013
Iran

The rapid population growth and ongoing development activities has resulted in natural resources demolition. However, the dynamics of the natural resources in relation to different biophysical and socio-economic factors are still remains poorly understood. The present study investigates the basic natural resources i.e. forest, rangeland and surface water bodies’ status using satellite data for the years 1990, 1998, and 2006, and their change detection in relation to biophysical and socio-economic factors.

Changes to soil organic N dynamics with leguminous woody plant encroachment into grasslands

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013

Encroachment of nitrogen-fixing trees and shrubs into grasslands and savannas is a well-documented land cover change that occurs worldwide. In the Rio Grande Plains region of southern Texas, previous studies have shown woody encroachment by leguminous Prosopis glandulosa (mesquite) trees increases soil C and N, decreases microbial biomass N relative to soil N, and accelerates N mineralization and nitrification.

Effects of previous nitrogen addition on chlorine in forest soil, soil solution and biomass

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013
Sweden

There is increasing evidence that forests and forest soil contribute to the signature of chlorine composition in water bodies. However, little is known about the potential effects of land management activities on chlorine biogeochemistry. This study examines the effects of previous nitrogen addition on chlorine chemistry in a Pinus sylvestris L. forest located in south-central Sweden (60°00′N, 13°43′E). Repeated addition of nitrogen to study plots over a 20-year period resulted in total additions of 0, 450 and 900� kg� N� ha⁻¹.
