To grasp the impact of plantcover structure on heat balance structure the components of heat balance of six ecosystems and two landscapes were calculated by using a mathematical model. Three types of various meteorological conditions during
the growing season were taken into consideration. This analysis has shown that plantcover has mitigating capacities in relation to the presumed effects of global climate change. Thus, in attempts to predict global changes at local level, the mitigating
effects of plantcover must be taken into consideration.
Investigation on heat and water balance in agricultural landscape were carried out of for six years. The impact of plantscover and habitat moisture on structure of heat and water balances was studied. Observations of micrometeorological parameters

Given the importance of land cover to the field of remote sensing and, in particular, the many physical geographical applications of remote sensing, this progress report will focus on recent developments in land cover research. Initially, reviews
of recent developments in land cover classification and land cover change lead into discussions on environmental management and environmental understanding. Finally, a brief summary of general developments in the field of remote sensing is provided.

in intensity through the expansion of agriculture during the nineteenth century and the recent emphasis on industrial development. It is therefore essential that the diverse plantcover should be given the protection of national park or nature reserve status.
Rainfall interception and splash detachment with a Brussels sprouts plant: a laboratory simulation
, are determined without a plantcover and with the cover of a single Brussels sprouts plant. The detachment rate was found rather surprisingly to be inversely related to the energy of the rainfall under the plant and positively related to the number of leaves.
The goal of this study was to assess impact of flood on soil and vegetation cover in the Sázava river floodplain after an extreme spring flood in 2006.There was a significant difference in species' composition between eroded sites and sites on thick
Depopulation and farmland abandonment resulted in plant recolonization in formerly cultivated areas, causing a decrease in runoff and sediment yield. As a consequence, most Pyrenean rivers tend to reduce the width of the alluvial plain
The objective of this report is to set out a district typology according to land cover structure, and this will be achieved through the use of statistical methodologies. An intermediate objective is to establish land cover change trends
The objective of this paper is to review and assess general medium spatial resolution satellite remote sensing land cover classification approaches with the goal of identifying the outstanding issues that must be overcome in order to implement

The aim of this study was to test, under field conditions, the response of runoff, soil erosion, nutrient, carbon losses, and heavy-metal transport to different plantcovers, including aromatic and medicinal plants and native vegetation during two
hydrological years. The study area is located in a coastal area of the south-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula at Almuñécar (Granada, SE Spain). The results support the recommendation of using plantcovers with multiple purposes (aromatic–medicinal–culinary
Remote sensing based analysis of land cover and land cover change in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
Indonesia ; Land use ; Plantcover ; Remote sensing
In this study, the author gains information about land cover and land cover change in Central Sulawesi on the basis of a Landsat 7/ETM+ time series. He applies a modern object-oriented approach which allows the analysis of non-spectral features (e.g
. shape, spatial relations, thematic data) and goes beyond the pure isolated statistical examination of each pixel's spectral values offered by traditional remote sensing techniques. The gathered results on land cover change provide essential information
Tracking invasive land covers in India, or why our landscapes have never been modern

This article explores the land-cover effects of state-sponsored modernization efforts in the semiarid Godwar region of Rajasthan, India. Using household production information and the discourse of state planners, the research explores the land
covers that result from agricultural intensification, biodiversity preservation and resource conservation. Through these efforts, state planners have attempted to partition those land uses seen as social from those seen as natural and enforce a modernist
purification of land covers. Despite these efforts, hybride and impure land covers have proliferated across the landscape. The results of analysis is that our landscapes have never been modern.
The AA. study the influence of 9 local, non-local and combined quantitative topographic characteristics on vegetation cover, altitude and density in 4 areas of the Rudny Altai. Differentiation of plant properties is shown to depend on relief
the advisability of the use of digital models and maps of indicated topographic characteristics in plant investigations.
