A quantitative method for analysing landscape structure

A quantitative method for analysing landscape structure
Biogeography ; Denmark ; Ecology ; Environmental management ; Geographical information system ; Jylland ; Landscape ; Landscape structure ; Quantitative analysis
This paper sketches out a method for a quantitative description of landscape structure, which can be used for biologically optimal landscape management. The approach suggested is based on a landscape ecological framework and emphasis is laid
on spatial characterisation of the landscape. It aims at supplementing conventional landscape descriptive parameters of biological importance, which are derived from a range of empirical data, with a spatial characterization. The method is implemented
in a vector-based GIS (ArcView) and allows quantification of landscape structure in different landscape types. Suggestions to further development of the method are discussed.

Tájképi homogenitás Magyarországon

Hungary ; Landscape ; Landscape evaluation ; Region ; Typology
This study focuses on the comparison of landscape regions and types, evaluating each microregion according to the number of landscape types occuring within its boundary. The evaluation is performed on the basis of scores assigned to each region
depending both on the number and the category of landscape types (i. e. if there are ecotopes belonging to different types or even to different macrotypes, the scores are higher than for ecotopes belonging to the same landscape type). - (ZK)

Knowledge claims and landscape : alternative views of the fuelwood-degradation nexus in northern Nigeria

Knowledge claims and landscape : alternative views of the fuelwood-degradation nexus in northern Nigeria
Deforestation ; Environmental degradation ; Forestry ; Fuelwood ; Nigeria ; Resource management ; Rural landscape ; Stand treatment
Far from being the product of a monolithic culture, regional forestry or agrosilvipastoral landscapes are social products which have been described in a plurality of ways. They represent sites of contestation and cooperation for human agents
and state agencies. The A. juxtaposes several such contests, their meanings, and the discourses of which they are a part. This juxtaposition creates spaces for different landscape visions.

Indigenous knowledge of landscape-ecological zones among traditional herbalists : a case study in Keiyo District, Kenya

Indigenous knowledge of landscape-ecological zones among traditional herbalists : a case study in Keiyo District, Kenya
The aim of this study is the insight of traditional herbalists in the landscape-ecological factors which control the growth of the plants they use for healing their patients. The extent of this insight determines their capacity to adapt
to environmental changes such as deforestation and soil degradation. This paper deals with the landscape-ecological perception of herbalists who live in an area with sharp landscape contrasts and drastic changes in landuse : the Keiyo Escarpment in the Rift which

Supervised classification of types of glaciated landscapes using digital elevation data

Supervised classification of types of glaciated landscapes using digital elevation data
Automated approaches for identifying different types of glaciated landscapes using digitally processed elevation data were evaluated. The AA. tested the ability of geomorphic measures (elevation, relative relief, roughness, and slope gradient
) derived from digital elevation models (DEMs) to differentiate glaciated landscapes using maximum likelihood classification and artificial neural networks (ANN). The automated methods were trained and validated using an existing Quaternary geology map
and a manual interpretation of the contour data portrayed on topographic quadrangles. The need for such methods arises from efforts to classify types of landscapes (e.g. ecoregions) in Michigan.

Griffith Taylor and the SE Australian Highlands : issues of data sources and testability in interpretations of long-term drainage history and landscape evolution

Griffith Taylor and the SE Australian Highlands : issues of data sources and testability in interpretations of long-term drainage history and landscape evolution
The A. summarises briefly Griffith Taylor's reconstruction of the drainage history of SE Australia, and how it came to be incorporated into the early plate tectonic interpretations of the evolution of Tasman-margin landscapes. He then uses
the existence of viewpoints that do not agree with Taylor's interpretation as a springboard for a consideration of the conceptual methodological problems associated with reconstructing long-term landscape evolution, and specifically the history of denudational
