This book was released on 2016 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space-borne remote sensing is a rapidly evolving field and is exceptionally useful for monitoring landscape dynamics. The increasing impact of humans on natural ecosystems via land use change and climate change make ecological monitoring vital to environmental health. Human population levels are causing rapid changes in land cover and development, which in turn puts increasing stress on the natural landscape. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have accelerated climate change causing varied unexpected changes to vegetation. The effects of increased frequency and intensity of drought in the western United States is an example of this which can be monitored using satellite imagery. This dissertation assesses how these human-induced threats are driving landscape changes and the application of remote sensing to assess the ecological impacts. To address these objectives, remote sensing is applied to natural resource monitoring for effective conservation-based land management (Chapter 2). These methods are then applied to various research, including monitoring ecological status of southern California National Parks (Chapter 3), assessment of the effects of drought on southern California native plants (Chapter 4) and on browning over California vegetation zones (Chapter 5). The remote sensing-based analyses utilize several best practice methods such as supervised classification and time series statistics to examine landscape changes throughout California. Outputs include a standardized protocol to determine future ecological conservation management actions, status reports on current and historical land use, publically available spatial datasets, and assessment of the California landscape and native species in response to 20th Century drought conditions.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid, inexpensive methods of monitoring land use change can greatly facilitate the planning of urban fringe development by use of synoptic remotely sensed imagery and urban growth theory. The urbanization of Walnut Valley, California from 1953-71 prompted land use change from intensive von Thunen market-oriented patterns to extensive, disinvested, production-factor-minimized patterns. Aerial photography used synoptically recorded six periods of land use change that bracketed dates before and after the freeway was announced and built. Interpretations of these changes help to deal with rural-urban transition problems before they arise.

Book excerpt: Geosimulation is hailed as ‘the next big thing’ in geographic modelling for urban studies. This book presents readers with an overview of this new and innovative field by introducing the spatial modelling environment and describing the latest research and development using cellular automata and multi-agent systems. Extensive case studies and working code is available from an associated website which demonstrate the technicalities of geosimulation, and provide readers with the tools to carry out their own modelling and testing. The first book to treat urban geosimulation explicitly, integrating socio-economic and environmental modelling approaches Provides the reader with a sound theoretical base in the science of geosimulation as well as applied material on the construction of geosimulation models Cross-references to an author-maintained associated website with downloadable working code for readers to apply the models presented in the book Visit the Author's Website for further information on Geosimulation, Geographic Automata Systems and Geographic Automata Software http://www.geosimulationbook.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.
