with ecosystem services and spatial interactions of landscape types, analyzed the spatial difference of the ecological function and the compactness of landscape structure in the study area, and further discussed the landscape pattern optimization proposal
. Results are presented in the context of landscape ecological planning in Beijing region : to establish urban ecological corridors and pattern in the course of city expansion.
The humped soil production function : eroding Arnhem Land, Australia
thicknesses between exposed bedrock and this thickness. These results thus quantify a well-defined humped soil-production function, in contrast to functions reported for other landscapes. They compare this function to a previously reported exponential decline
Control of sediment dynamics by vegetation as a key function driving biogeomorphic succession within fluvial corridors
Here, the AA. propose that the control of sediment erosion and deposition by riparian vegetation is a key geomorphological and ecological (i.e. biogeomorphic) function within fluvial corridors. In a 3 year study, they investigated the correlations
between riparian vegetation and hydrogeomorphic dynamics along a transverse gradient from the main channel to the floodplain of the River Tech, France. Sediment erosion and deposition rates varied significantly along the transverse gradient as a function
of the vegetation biovolume intercepting water flow. Three different biogeomorphic functions, all related to the concept of ecosystem engineering, were identified. Overall, this study based on empirical data points to the fundamental importance of sediment flow
The results illustrate that road surfaces behave characteristically in the runoff detachment and sediment delivery process due to the difference in the bulk density and functions of agricultural soils. The soil detachment rate is closely related
to flow depth, slope gradient and other hydraulic parameters such as shear stress, stream power and unit stream power. Multiple non-linear regression analyses indicate that detachment rates for all roads can be accurately predicted by power functions
function of flow depth and slope gradient is also recommended to predict detachment rate on the road surfaces.
This test is conducted in order to evaluate the prospect of including American citizens living abroad in the decennial census. The debate was framed by two distinct discourses of the function of the census in American society. The A. argues
that, although the nation-building and data-generating functions of the census are not contradictory, they could not in this case be reconciled because the population in question does not align with the national territorial borders that guide and delimit census
Vegetation patchiness and implications for landscape function : the case of Pteronia incana invader species in Ngqushwa Rural Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa
An important source of risk in agricultural production is the variability to crop yields reflecting irregularly changing weather. This variability may be described as a stochastic process that has a function of density. Analyses of historical data
on crop yields reveal that the function of density changed from right-skewed to left-skewed, along with increasing mean yields. A fairly good approximation of the probability distribution for actual yields may be obtained using the log-normal distribution
