Towards integrated natural resource management in forest margins of the humid tropics: local action and global concerns
Humanity stands at a defining moment in history. We are confronted with a perpetuation of disparities between and within nations, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystems on which we depend for our well-being. However, integration of environment and development concerns and greater attention to them will lead to the fulfilment...

متن کاملStructural Dynamics of Tropical Moist Forest Gaps
Gap phase dynamics are the dominant mode of forest turnover in tropical forests. However, gap processes are infrequently studied at the landscape scale. Airborne lidar data offer detailed information on three-dimensional forest structure, providing a means to characterize fine-scale (1 m) processes in tropical forests over large areas. Lidar-based estimates of forest structure (top down) differ...
متن کاملTemporal analysis of forest structural condition at an acid mine site using multispectral digital camera imagery
A large abandoned tailings deposit at a mine site near Timmins, Ontario, Canada has produced significant damage in an adjacent forest due to contamination and wind stress. Significant forest structure changes were measured between 1997 and 1999. A multivariate image-based forest structure index (FSI) was developed using canonical correlation analysis of 1997 field and airborne digital camera da...
متن کاملStructural Integrity and Moral Integrity
As engineers, a confliction readily appears in regards to cost efficiency against quality. Civil Engineer A of Peace Corps was assigned the task of the design and building of a desalination though electrodialysis plant in rural Uttar Pradesh, India. Desalination is the process of removing high salt contents from groundwater in order to render it drinkable. Of the total volume of water on Earth,...
