Spatial modelling of vegetation change in dynamic landscapes : a review of methods and applications

Spatial modelling of vegetation change in dynamic landscapes : a review of methods and applications
Bibliography ; Forest ; Geographical information system ; Landscape ; Landscape ecology ; Model ; Simulation ; Spatial analysis ; Vegetation ; Vegetation dynamics ; Years 1990-99 ; Years 2000-2009
This review considers the development and application of landscape-level spatially explicit ecological models, with an emphasis on vegetation dynamics and disturbance, and the management applications of these models. Mechanistic and stochastic
models are compared and contrasted and the development, over the last 15 years, of spatial landscape models of ecological change is discussed.

A methodology to the study of the integrated landscape is shown, based on a geographical and systematic conception of the landscape. The study is thought at half scale (1/25,000-1/50,000) and is composed of four big stages: 1) the landscape elements

Learning to love the landscapes of carbon-neutrality

Learning to love the landscapes of carbon-neutrality
Landscapes of Energies. Special Issue
Carbon economy ; Cultural landscape ; Landscape ; Landscape dynamics ; Landscape esthetics ; Sustainable development
This paper proposes that society’s pursuit of sustainable development will involve landscape changes that attract protest and opposition. It considers the role of drivers of change. Energy is likely to be a major driver of new landscapes. Reference
is made to the notion of the acquired aesthetic. The paper therefore raises the possibility that we can learn to see beauty and attractiveness in emerging landscapes of carbon neutrality.

Quantifying landscape structure: a review of landscape indices and their application to forested landscapes

Quantifying landscape structure: a review of landscape indices and their application to forested landscapes
Applied ecology ; Biodiversity ; Forest ; Forestry ; Habitat ; Landscape ; Methodology ; Scale ; Topography ; United Kingdom ; Vegetation dynamics ; Vegetation index
This study reviews some of the tools available to those who need to describe and understand the spatial structure of landscapes. In particular, it examines the way in which quantitative measures, or indices, can be used and what contribution
they might make to the management of forested landscapes in the UK. It is concluded that there is a pressing need for further research into the relationship between landscape pattern and ecological process.

Same land cover, same land use at the large scale, different landscapes at the small scale : landscape change in olive plantations on Lesvos Island, Greece : Special section : Landscape change and regional identity

Same land cover, same land use at the large scale, different landscapes at the small scale : landscape change in olive plantations on Lesvos Island, Greece : Special section : Landscape change and regional identity
Farm ; Greece ; Landscape dynamics ; Lesvos ; Plantation ; Rural landscape
Agricultural landscape change at the small scale is studied to conceptualize the processes that change these landscapes according to the decisions that farmers make. The five-year differences in land cover, land use and landscape at the small scale
are studied in three dimensions: symbolic, productive and ecological. Understanding the dynamic diversity requires studying human interventions at the right scale, the one that corresponds to the scale of the changes at the farm.

Landscape ecology and biogeography

Landscape ecology and biogeography
Biogeography ; Concept ; Ecology ; Ecosystem ; Forest ; Habitat ; Landscape ; Nature park ; Nature reserve ; Population dynamics ; Soil conservation
The A. discusses the application of landscape ecological principles to a specific and pressing issue: nature reserve design and functioning. He reviews 5 landscape ecological themes with relevance to reserve design and management. He studies
: the role that landscape ecological theories may have in integrating existing principles from applied biogeography and population biology; the unique insights provided by a landscape ecological approach. Finally, he argues that biogeographers need to be more
active in the development and advancement of landscape ecological theory.

Landscape as a driver for well-being : The ELC in the globalist arena

Landscape as a driver for well-being : The ELC in the globalist arena
Conflict ; Impact ; Landscape ; Landscape dynamics ; New Zealand ; Palestinian Territories ; Well-being
Two cases of dramatic landscape change, in the contrastinggeographies and political contexts of New Zealand and Palestine, are presented. The first example is located within a benign context and the other in an area of extreme conflict. Nonetheless
in both cases the changes described have striking visible impact on the landscape and significant flow-on effects, some of them intangible and unquantifiable, on the well-being of the people who inhabit these landscapes. These cases present the two ends
of a spectrum in which the hypothesis of a world landscape convention inspired by the ELC is relevant.

The application of computer-based procedures for the visual landscape sensivity assessment

The application of computer-based procedures for the visual landscape sensivity assessment

The concept of visual landscape sensivity is related to both the degree of visibility of new structures and the quality (intrinsic merit) of surrounding landscape. For a given landscape, modification, visual impact is directly related to visual

Earth surface processes ; Human impact ; Italy ; Land use ; Landscape ; Landscape dynamics ; Model ; Scenario
The impact of human activities on the landscape and its factors : soil, water, vegetation, geomorphology, etc... reaches nowadays unprecedented levels. A quali/quantitative knowledge of landscape changes is needed to understand the anthropogenic
influence and to create models in order to generate scenarios to assess the future trends of the landscape system. The effects of land use changes on the landscape are explained both qualitatively and quantitatively. - (NF)

Landscape sensitivity is expressed as the ratio of the change in a system to the change in a landscape component. The larger the ratio, the greater the sensitivity. An array of drivers of landscape change is reviewed, but there is seen to be little

Stories about real and imagined landscapes: the case of Slovenian Istria

Stories about real and imagined landscapes: the case of Slovenian Istria
Concept ; Cultural landscape ; Landscape ; Landscape dynamics ; Slovenia
This paper presents the cultural landscape as an abstract concept and the result of a complex relationship between the natural environment and human society, and at the same time as a result of comprehension and personal views. A landscape
is a story about the people that created it. The theoretical part establishes parallels between a landscape and the stories that this landscape has generated as well as their connection with geographical knowledge. This is followed by stories about real
and imagined landscapes from Slovenian Istria, as ascertained through an analysis of extensive material using the ATLAS.ti software and taking into account the principles of grounded theory. This approaches a holistic view of the landscape, or understanding
the landscape as a system of material and non-material elements and processes that direct them. - (IKR)

In addition to the elements that have been formed under the forces of the current era, the landscape also contains elements from previous eras. Functions of some of these landscapes have changed. With the fall of the Soviet system, garage areas have

Landscape sensitivity : principles and applications in northern cool temperate environments
Concept ; Ecology ; Human impact ; Landscape ; Landscape dynamics ; Scotland ; Sensitivity analysis ; Soil ; United Kingdom ; Vegetation ; Vegetation dynamics
This paper briefly explores the concept of landscape sensitivity from an ecological perspective by addressing the questions : what is landscape sensitivity, what are the mechanisms of change, and what can landscape change mean for the species living
there ? In discussing the first question, the AA. note the difficulty of achieving a precise definition, though it is vegetation that largely gives landscapes their colour and texture. They explore the other three questions using examples and data from Scotland, mainly
