Selection of landscapes by male ruffed grouse during peak abundance.
… centers. I studied the relationship between landscape configuration and density of male grouse during the high portion of their cycle. I located 290 and 230 male grouse during 2009 and 2010 respectively, on 30 landscapes encompassing 5,349 hectares. I used information theoretic model …

Spatial and Temporal Topological Analysis of Landscape Structure using Graph Theory
System behaviours of juxtaposed landscape elements can be revealed by analysing compositional and configurational properties of a landscape. Traditional approaches to spatial analysis mainly entail the use of spatial statistics and classical spatial data structures to analyse the composition of a …

Satellite image classification and spatial analysis of agricultural areas for land cover mapping of grizzly bear habitat
… any, spatial and compositional components of the landscape affected the bears in these agricultural areas. Spectral and environmental data for five different land-cover types of interest were acquired in late July, 2007, from Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite imagery and field data collection in …

Ecosystem engineering: beaver and the population structure of Columbia spotted frogs in western Montana
… those habitats have not been examined. I used a landscape database and eight microsatellite markers to compare the scale and pattern of lentic sites, their occupancy, and population structure by Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) between watersheds with and without beaver activity. Across …

Anthropogenic impacts on Cerrado conservation and biodiversity and carbon restoration of Atlantic Forest
… changes from the local scale to the landscape scale. These changes are responsible for the reduction and isolation of plant populations, the extinction and substitution of species in the remaining communities, and for changes in ecosystem functions, including carbon stock, which is …

THE ORCHARD AND ITS DWELLERS: PATHWAYS FOR RECONCILING NATURE CONSERVATION WITH INTENSIVE AGRICULTURE IN THE NON VALLEY APPLE DISTRICT, NORTHERN ITALY
L’agricoltura moderna sta affrontando la sfida globale di sfamare la crescente popolazione umana e contemporaneamente ridurre drasticamente il suo impatto ambientale. Fino ad ora, l’intensificazione agricola è avvenuta a discapito dei sistemi naturali, comportando un declino globale della …
