Notes on Land-based Conflicts in Kenya's Arid Areas

The Role of Site Detection on the Land Utilization Type in Planning and Management in Arid Areas Geographic

Aims & Backgrounds: One of the most important parts of Planning and management in arid areas is land evaluation surveys and determines the compatibility of the desired area for previously considered land use. The purpose of this research is to emphasize the importance and role of land suitability assessment classification as one of the main parts of management in this region. Methodology: In t...

Biological Models for Protecting Different Land Use in Arid Areas China

There are more than 750 counties in 13 provinces and autonomous regionsconstituting 30% of China lands which are facing serious problem of desertification. Theseareas are mainly distributed in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas in the western part ofNortheast China, North central china and most of northwest china. Biological methods are theultimate way for drift sand stabilization and a fu...

Urban Land-Cover Dynamics in Arid China Based on High-Resolution Urban Land Mapping Products

Rapid urbanization has occurred in northwestern China, threatening the sustainability of its fragile dryland ecosystems. A lack of precise urban land-cover information has limited our understanding on the urbanization in the dryland. Here, we examined urban land-cover changes from 2000 to 2014 in 21 major cities that comprise over 50% of the developed land in arid China, using Landsat Enhanced ...

Notes on Cortical Areas in Mammals

The past two centuries of work on the structure and function of the cerebral cortex have been characterized by recurring debates—often too often forgotten and re-argued—involving several basic oppositions. Two of these are: (1) "field" versus "localization" theories of cortical function, and (2) higher-level, abstract (linguistic) facilities versus lower-level, less abstract, sensorimotor funct...
