Download or read book Geomorphometry written by Tomislav Hengl and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land-surface analysis. It draws upon mathematical, statistical, and image-processing techniques to quantify the shape of earth's topography at various spatial scales. The focus of geomorphometry is the calculation of surface-form measures (land-surface parameters) and features (objects), which may be used to improve the mapping and modelling of landforms to assist in the evaluation of soils, vegetation, land use, natural hazards, and other information. This book provides a practical guide to preparing Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for analysis and extracting land-surface parameters and objects from DEMs through a variety of software. It further offers detailed instructions on applying parameters and objects in soil, agricultural, environmental and earth sciences. This is a manual of state-of-the-art methods to serve the various researchers who use geomorphometry.Soil scientists will use this book to further learn the methods for classifying and measuring the chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils and gain a further understaing of the role of soil as a natural resource. Geologists will find value in the instruction this book provides for measuring the physical features of the soil such as elevation, porosity, and structure which geologists use to predict natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and flooding. - Technical details on a variety of software packages allow researchers to solve real-life mapping issues - Provides soil and agronomy researchers best practice techniques for soil data analysis to assist in enhanced land-use and planning - Offers geologists essential tactics for better environmental management by providing a comprehensive analysis of the physical features of soil - Companion website includes access to the latest technological advancements previously unpublished in any other comprehensive source: geomorphometry software, DEM data sources, and applications

Book Synopsis Global to Local: Ecological Land Classification by : Richard A. Sims
Download or read book Global to Local: Ecological Land Classification written by Richard A. Sims and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Sub-Boreal Spruce Zone (SBS) of the Prince Rupert Forest region, the forest manager encounters a considerable range of stand types, forest productivities, and stand responses to various kinds of treatment. Such variability arises not only from different stand histories but also from intrinsic differences in the climate, topography, geology, and soils of various forests sites or ecosystems. This Field guide aims to provide a practical, efficient tool to identify decent intrinsically different ecosystem units in the field.

Book Synopsis Martens and Fishers (Martes) in Human-Altered Environments by : Daniel J. Harrison
Download or read book Martens and Fishers (Martes) in Human-Altered Environments written by Daniel J. Harrison and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martens and Fishers (Martes) in Human-Altered Environments: An International Perspective examines the conditions where humans and martens are compatible and incompatible, and promotes land use practices that allow Martes to be representatively distributed and viable. All Martes have been documented to use forested habitats and 6 species (excluding the stone marten) are generally considered to require complex mid- to late-successional forests throughout much of their geographic ranges. All species in the genus require complex horizontal and vertical structure to provide escape cover protection from predators, habitat for their prey, access to food resources, and protection from the elements. Martens and the fisher have high metabolic rates, have large spatial requirements, have high surface area to volume ratios for animals that often inhabit high latitudes, and often require among the largest home range areas per unit body weight of any group of mammals. Resulting from these unique life history characteristics, this genus is particularly sensitive to human influences on their habitats, including habitat loss, stand-scale simplification of forest structure via some forms of logging, and landscape-scale effects of habitat fragmentation. Given their strong associations with structural complexity in forests, martens and the fisher are often considered as useful barometers of forest health and have been used as ecological indicators, flagship, and umbrella species in different parts of the world. Thus, efforts to successfully conserve and manage martens and fishers are associated with the ecological fates of other forest dependent species and can greatly influence ecosystem integrity within forests that are increasingly shared among wildlife and humans. We have made great strides in our fundamental understanding of how animals with these unique life history traits perceive and utilize habitats, respond to habitat change, and how their populations function and perform under different forms of human management and mismanagement. This knowledge enhances our basic understanding of all species of Martes and will help us to achieve the goal of conserving viable populations and representative distributions of the world’s Martes, their habitats, and associated ecological communities in our new millennium.
Book Synopsis Competitive Effects of Trembling Aspen on Lodgepole Pine Performance in the SBS and IDF Zones of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Region of South-central British Columbia by : Teresa A. Newsome
Download or read book Competitive Effects of Trembling Aspen on Lodgepole Pine Performance in the SBS and IDF Zones of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Region of South-central British Columbia written by Teresa A. Newsome and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes & presents results of a retrospective study carried out between 1992 and 1999 in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of British Columbia to quantify the effects of trembling aspen competition on lodgepole pine performance, and to identify competition indices or other measures of competition that could be used by field staff. Target pine were selected across neighbourhoods in six stands with varying densities of aspen. Data pertaining to pine size & condition, and to the size & location of aspen within a 70-inch radius of the pine were collected three times. Measurements began when the stands were seven to 12 years old. Various approaches are used to identify levels of aspen abundance when pine performance declined below acceptable levels. These include analyses of regression & correlation, tests of existing competition indices, and visual & statistical characterization of trends. Finally, conservative recommendations are made for the retention of aspen within pine stands in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region.
