Recreational Carrying Capacity of Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge

Recreational carrying capacity addresses the issue of how much and what types of recreation can be accommodated in parks and related areas without unacceptable impacts. Contemporary approaches to carrying capacity rely on formulation, monitoring, and management of indicators and standards of quality. Recreational carrying capacity of Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, located in northern Ne...

Assessment of Wooded Area Reduction by Airborne

Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data hold a great deal of promise in monitoring the reduction of single trees and forests with high accuracy. In the literature, the canopy height model (CHM) is the main input used frequently for forest change detection. ALS also has the key capability of delivering 3D point clouds, not only from the top canopy surface, but also from the entire canopy profile and ...

The impact of land use/cover change on the ecological carrying capacity in Loess Hilly region

Based on the theory of ecological footprint, and as land use/cover change the breakthrough point in Loess hilly area, the ecological carrying capacity analysis method was used to calculate the ecological carrying capacity of Shanghuang experimental area. The results showed that the total ecological carrying capacity in 1982, 2000 and 2010 were 242.47、750.53、929.68 hm. Meanwhile the per capita e...

Research on Water Resources Design Carrying Capacity

Abstract: Water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) is a recently proposed management concept, which aims to support sustainable socio-economic development in a region or basin. However, the calculation of future WRCC is not well considered in most studies, because water resources and the socio-economic development mode for one area or city in the future are quite uncertain. This paper focused o...
