Phytoplankton primary production and photosynthetic parameters in reservoirs along a gradient of watershed land use
We investigated how watershed land use (a gradient of agricultural vs. forested land) relates to phytoplankton primary production (PPr) and photosynthetic parameters in 12 reservoirs in Ohio and examined spatial variation in these parameters. Shallow sites near stream inflows had higher light attenuation, total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll, nonvolatile suspended solids (NVSS), light-saturated p...
متن کاملHow energy and water availability constrain vegetation water-use along the North Australian Tropical Transect
Energy and water availability were identified as the first order controls of evapotranspiration(ET) in ecohyrodrology. With a ~1,000 km precipitation gradient and distinct wet-dry climate,the North Australian Tropical Transect (NATT) was well suited for evaluating how energy andwater availabilities constrain water use by vegetation, but has not been done yet. In this study,we addressed this que...
متن کاملClimate Variability Impacts on Land Use and Livelihoods in Drylands
This edited volume is devoted to the examination of the implications of the inevitable changes wrought by global change on the welfare and livelihoods of tens of millions of people who live in dryland regions. Global change is more than just climate change and the ramifications of changing trade patterns (geopolitical and economic aspects), the shift to the market economy, demographic factors (...
متن کاملSatellite Image Processing for Land Use and Land Cover Mapping
In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...
متن کاملLand-Use/Convection/Regional Climate
This paper reviews the cumulative effect of land-cover change on local, regional, and global weather and climate. Documented land-cover changes from 1700 to the present are shown to be particularly significant in the tropics. Model results are presented which show the teleconnection of weather patterns worldwide result from these landscape changes.
