Ljubljana area. The diversity of landscape in municipality has significant influence on the orientation and functions of agriculture, and on the present and future land use. Over the last decade, there has been a significant decline in the number of active
Suburbanization processes are modifying the functioning of Cracow's surroundings.Migration flows are changing the demographic and social structure of formerly rural areas, this occurring in relation to infrastructural development and land-use
changes. Spatial transformations from rural to urban space are among the most readily measurable ones.Analyses of land-uses changes in selected areas of the two communes, directly adjacent to Cracow, provided and answer to the main research question
Kernel estimation based on the convolution of a probability density function with a set of magnitudes or event dates, provides tuneable smooth pictures of probability density functions and event intensity functions. Such pictures are in several
The influence of micro-climate, snow cover, and soil moisture on ecosystem functioning in high mountains
winter, snow melting, evaporation, percolation, soil moisture variability and temperature variations were quantified. Combining spatio-temporal data on physical environment functioning and vegetation patterns resulted in a process-oriented
Modeling doline populations with logistic growth functions
Initiation and evolution of a large karst depression population consisting of parent and daughter dolines were spatially and temporally modeled using logistic growth functions. Seven assumptions based upon previous studies were refined
The AA. attempt here to put forward a conception of landscape ecological niche, enlightened by the international scholars on extending the ecological niche theory from spatial to functional niche. The results show that from 1987 to 2000, towards
Yan'an region, spatial attribute value of landscape ecological niche changes with an obvious increment, and functional attribute value change with a little increment, both of which enhance the regional landscape ecological niche. Towards each county
, spatial attribute value of landscape ecological niche increases to different extent while functional attribute value changes dissimilarly with an increment or a decrement.
