Displaying 181 - 185 of 1195Climate change and wildfire risk in an expanding wildland–urban interface: a case study from the Colorado Front Range Corridor
CONTEXT: Wildfire is a particular concern in the wildland–urban interface (WUI) of the western United States where human development occurs close to flammable natural vegetation. OBJECTIVES: (1) Assess the relative influences of WUI expansion versus climate-driven fire regime change on spatial and temporal patterns of burned WUI, and (2) determine whether WUI developed in the future will have higher or lower wildfire risk than existing WUI.
Research on landscape ecological security pattern in a Eucalyptus introduced region based on biodiversity conservation
Landscape fragmentation and habitat loss are one of the important factors resulting in biodiversity decrease and species extinction. A large amount of Eucalyptus have been introduced into Yunnan Province in China since 2003, replaced the native forest, farmland, wasteland and other ecosystems, leading to natural habitat loss and landscape fragmentation.
Effect of soil pH on growth, nutrient uptake, and mycorrhizal colonization in exotic invasive Lygodium microphyllum
Lygodium microphyllum is an invasive exotic plant species taking over many sites in freshwater and moist habitats in Florida. Managing it has been a significant challenge for land resource managers and researchers due to its extensive rapid invasion. To assess the effects of soil pH on growth, nutrient uptake, and mycorrhizal colonization in the roots of L. microphyllum, we conducted a 60-day greenhouse experiment by growing it in pots filled with pH-adjusted soils to a range from 4.5 to 8.0.

Managing landscape heterogeneity in different socio-ecological contexts: contrasting cases from central Loess Plateau of China and southern Finland
CONTEXT: Landscape transition drives environmental change across the globe. However, landscape and its change are complex with high spatial heterogeneity, which challenges strategic decision-making. OBJECTIVES: This paper aims to derive management meaningful units based on landscape status and change analysis and the generalization of landscape spatial heterogeneity. METHODS: Based on contrasting cases from Finland (Vanajavesi) and China (Baota District), this paper analyzed the landscape attributes and change since 2000.
Integrated knowledge- and data-driven approaches for groundwater potential zoning using GIS and multi-criteria decision making techniques on hard-rock terrain of Ahar catchment, Rajasthan, India
This study utilizes for the first time integrated knowledge-driven and data-driven methods for groundwater potential zoning in the hard-rock terrain of Ahar River catchment, Rajasthan, India by employing remote sensing, geographical information system, multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), and multiple linear regression (MLR) techniques.
