The AA. have applied diversity indices and abundance distribution models to use the notions such as pedodiversity (as an example of geodiversity in a broad sense), in order to detect the differences and similarities between both natural resources
, biological and non-biological. The discussion has mainly been conducted through the study of landform based pedodiversity analysis applied to SOTER digital databases in Hainan Island, China.
La géographie physique et biologique est née de solides traditions russes. Depuis la Révolution, elle a été fortement influencée par les besoins de planification: données sur l'environnement physique et les ressources naturelles, et plus récemment
Influence of hillslope on biological pools of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in acidic alfisols of citrus orchard
This study assessed how different hill slope positions under uniform management practice within a Khasi mandarin orchard (Citrus reticulata Blanco) influence biological pools of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), and soil quality
that hill slope position and soil moisture had significant influence on variability of soil biological pools. Sizes of biological pools were significantly higher in post-monsoon than post-winter. It is highlighted that hill slope position and soil moisture

The paralic aquatic environments which are situated between the marine and continental realms are extremely different as far as their shape, morphology and genesis. On the contrary, the biological populations are characterized by species strictly
Confinement. A confinement scale is proposed from biological data. From this new point of view, it appears that far from being marginal, the paralic realm played an important role in the biosphere and lithosphere history on our planet.

This publication represents the different aspects of water management, such as resource development, critical analysis of irrigation, water management, watershed approach, ways and means of improving water use efficiency and improving cost benefit
relationship. The main focus is on physical, biological, socio-economic and environmental problems of water management and research, extension and training of water users and their participation in making the best use of irrigation. - (PLK)
Use of satellite images in mapping of biological diversity in Senegal
The aim of the project is to develop a method for mapping and monitoring of biological diversity in the Sahel zone. Sahel is undergoing marked environmental changes, affecting not only human populations but also ecological communities. These ongoing
processes have biological implications on both national and international levels. The Sahelian biotopes hold a number of endemic biological assets and constitute the main wintering ground for a significant number of Palearctic migratory bird species.
