Integrating Landscape Disturbance and Indicator Species in Conservation Studies
Successful conservation plans are conditioned by our ability to detect anthropogenic change in space and time and various statistical analyses have been developed to handle this critical issue. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate a new approach for spatial analysis in conservation biology. Here, we propose a two-step protocol. First, we introduce a new disturbance metric which pro...
متن کاملManagement and Conservation Disturbance and Landscape Effects on Avian Nests in Agricultural Conservation Buffers
We studied the effects of periodic disturbance (prescribed burning and light disking) and landscape composition on nest density and success for grassland birds in agricultural conservation buffers in southeastern United States agroecosystems. During the 2007–2009 breeding seasons, we located 387 nests in buffers of a northeast Mississippi agroecosystem. Dickcissel (Spiza americana) and red-wing...
متن کاملGeographic landscape and Its Usage in Historical Studies
From the early 20th century, relying on consistency of geography and history, the science of Historical Geography became subject to attention in the field of historical studies, and different theoretical schools emerged to focus on the type of attitude towards it. Geographic landscape is one of the relatively new study areas in historical geography that examines changes of the nature in a defin...
متن کاملThe Role of Citizen Science in Landscape and Seascape Approaches to Integrating Conservation and Development
Initiatives to manage landscapes for both biodiversity protection and sustainable development commonly employ participatory methods to exploit the knowledge of citizens. We review five examples of citizen groups engaging with landscape scale conservation initiatives to contribute their knowledge, collect data for monitoring programs, study systems to detect patterns, and test hypotheses on aspe...
متن کاملDisturbance Frequency Determines Morphology and Community Development in Multi-Species Biofilm at the Landscape Scale
Many natural and engineered biofilm systems periodically face disturbances. Here we present how the recovery time of a biofilm between disturbances (expressed as disturbance frequency) shapes the development of morphology and community structure in a multi-species biofilm at the landscape scale. It was hypothesized that a high disturbance frequency favors the development of a stable adapted bio...
