Predicting Mammal Species Richness from Remotely Sensed Data at Dif- ferent Spatial Scales
Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental factors such as climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)-Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) has been shown to be correlated with climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. Moreover...
متن کاملPredicting above-ground density and distribution of small mammal prey species at large spatial scales
Grassland and shrub-steppe ecosystems are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities. Loss of native habitats may negatively impact important small mammal prey species. Little information, however, is available on the impact of habitat variability on density of small mammal prey species at broad spatial scales. We examined the relationship between small mammal density and remotely-sens...
متن کاملAggregation influences coral species richness at multiple spatial scales.
The spatial dispersion of individuals across multiple spatial scales can significantly influence biodiversity patterns. Here we characterize the dispersion of corals in reef assemblages distributed across a 10000-km longitudinal biodiversity gradient from Indonesia to the Society Islands, using a multiscale sampling design. Our results indicate that most coral species were aggregated among 10-m...
متن کاملIntegrating Remotely Sensed Data with Other Spatial Data Sets to Predict Areas at Risk from Salinity
Secondary salinity caused by rising saline groundwater due to the clearing of land for agriculture has caused serious loss of productive land in Western Australia. In 1989, the Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey of farmers which reported that 443 441 ha or 2.83 percent of the 15.7 million ha of cleared land in south-western Australia was saline. A further survey in 1994 showed t...
متن کاملRelationships between plant species Richness and environmental factors in nature Reserves at different spatial scales
The relationships between species richness and driving factors might vary with taxa and spatial scale. For this study we used plant species data of eight groups from nature reserves in China, namely pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms, vascular plants, Chinese endemic species, rare and endangered plants, woody plants, and herbaceous plants, and eight putative environmental predictors to exp...
