Herbaceous species diversity, redundancy and resilience of Mopaneveld across different land-uses
… study aimed to quantify the effect of various land-use practices on herbaceous plant community structure, which included productivity (biomass) as well as richness, evenness and diversity at species- and functional level. The objectives of this study were to i) determine to what extent …

Variability of physical, chemical and hydraulic parameters in soils of Mt. Kilimanjaro across different land uses
… water storage. Climate change and anthropogenic land use changes often decrease important functioning of soil systems. In order to understand the soil complexity, sophisticated technologies to measure soil properties and processes at high spatial resolutions are needed. This study addresses the …

Phosphorus Losses From Simulated Dairy Land Uses of Management Intensive Grazing and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
… dairy systems and CAFO hay production. Four land use treatments were simulated on runoff release plots planted in two forage treatments. Land use treatments were management intensive grazing (MIG) and CAFO hay production to which manure was applied; grazing and CAFO hay production without …

Multi-temporal Remote Sensing of Changing Agricultural Land Uses within the Midwestern Corn Belt, 2001-2015
… experienced significant changes in agricultural land use and management practices in recent decades. Cropland expansion, crop rotation change, and crop phenology changes could lead to divergent environmental impacts on linked ecosystems. The overall objective is to examine agricultural land use …

From soil to groundwater: Assessing the leaching potential of cadmium across gradients of soil types and land-uses
… of agriculture, the mainstay of New Zealand’ economy, relies on millions tons of fertiliser to maintain soil fertility. These fertilisers contain contaminants, including cadmium (Cd) which pose risks to the environment and human health. The assessment of the bioavailability, mobility, …

Straight pipes and household wastewater discharges into the rural Alabama and impact on watershed water quality with wetland land-uses
… This study also investigated the impacts of wetland land use on stream water quality response at eight main sites. The results showed that potassium (R square 0.78), C3 (R square 0.58) and optical brighteners (R square 0.53) correlated positively with percent wetland in the draining watersheds. …

Life history and secondary production of Cheumatopsyche spp. in a small Appalachian stream with two different land uses on its watershed
… dynamics in two reaches with different land-use in a watershed. The upstream section was influenced by urban and agricultural activities. The channel showed evidence of disturbance related to both geomorphological processes and agricultural activities. There was higher annual accumulated …

Exploring the spatial implications of capacity constraints in public transportation systems : a scenario-based analysis of London
… development occurs and determine which users and land uses suffer from further crowding. However, analyzing the spatial relationship between available capacity and economic impacts may not be straightforward, and common modeling practice can bias results. Improved modeling practice that more …

Geographic Information System Methodologies to Evaluate Relationships Between Land use and Groundwater Quality in South Central Kentucky
… explored to examine the relationships between land-use and water quality in karst watersheds. Eight watersheds throughout southern and western Kentucky were examined. The study areas included the Mammoth Cave Karst Aquifer, which is the watershed that drains the Mammoth Cave System, and seven …

The effect of place image on the uses of public space : the Cheonggye Stream case
… new public space amid existing urban fabrics. It uses the redesigned Cheonggye Stream in Seoul as a case study. By elucidating the interrelationship with the surrounding areas' land uses and urban forms, some implications are drawn from the Cheonggye Stream case to increase physical and …

The fiscal impacts of use-value taxation in Prince William County, Virginia
… that high property taxation of agricultural land encourages its conversion to nonagricultural uses has led to the adoption of use-value taxation practices. Use-value taxation has had mixed results as a deterrent to the conversion of agricultural and open space land. It has been argued that …

The Petrochemical Industrial Complex of the St. Charles Parish Industrial Corridor and its Influence on Urbanization Patterns
… which is the most elevated and flood resistant land in the town. In order to test these observations, the author of this thesis has collected parcel-level land use data in Norco to determine the flood hazard and topographical characteristics of these various land uses. Spatial calculations, run …

Water quality and biotic community response to an urban – rural land-use gradient in the Lake Simcoe watershed
… originates from urban tributaries, despite urban land-use accounting for only 12% of total watershed area. Since many urban areas are seeing drastic human population growth and intensification, the impact urban derived stressors have on water quality and biotic communities requires further …

Linking the landscape: legal and policy tools to promote connected habitats in fragmented landscapes
… extinction period, and habitat loss due to human land uses has been named as one of its leading causes. By converting land to urban and agricultural land uses, humans have fragmented millions of acres of once-contiguous habitat. Fragmentation alters the spatial configuration and ecological …

Using land value capture to fund rail transit extensions in Mexico City and Santiago de Chile
The effects of rail rapid transit on land uses and land values are discussed. Rail transit can enhance accessibility, and can raise the demand for locating in areas around stations, increasing land value, and in some cases fostering redevelopment at higher densities. The attraction that the areas …
