Range of variability Concepts

چکیده
Objective: Provide an overview of range of variability (ROV) concepts and their application in landscape planning and management. Highlight the use of historic range of variability (HRV) in establishing context for the current landscape condition and its potential role in guiding specification of desired future landscape condition. Topics covered: 1. Origins of range of variability (ROV) concepts 2. Premises for ROV concepts 3. ROV concepts 4. Methods for describing ROV 5. Planning and management applications 6. Challenges in the use and interpretation of natural variability Comments: Lots of material taken from Landres et al. (1999).

توصیف فراکتالی اثرات قرق درازمدت و چرای مفرط بر الگوی تغییرات مکانی شماری از ویژگی‌های شیمایی خاک
Knowledge of the spatial dependency of soil properties, sensitive to grazing systems, is important from an ecosystem protection point of view. In the current study, geostatistical methods and fractal concepts have been used in order to characterize the impact of long-term grazing exclusion on the spatial variability of some soil chemical parameters including organic matter, total nitrogen, avai...

متن کاملVariability in wood properties of promising willow clones
The objective of the article is to investigate the variability in growth and wood properties of the willow clones. The growth and wood traits of four year old 21 clones willow clones were investigated. Analysis of variance showed that willow clones differed significantly for all the studied growth and wood traits. Among the growth parameters the maximum heritability value was shown by height wh...
متن کاملApplying Spatial Geostatistical Analysis Models for Evaluating Variability of Soil Properties in Eastern Shiraz, Iran
ABSTRACT- The information on the spatial properties of soil is vital to improve soil management and to increase the crop productivity. Geostatistical analysis technique is one of the most important methods for determining the spatial properties of soil. The aim of this study was to investigate spatial variability of soil chemical and physical attributes for field management in eastern Shiraz, I...
متن کاملSeasonal variability of size-classes of phytoplankton biomass in a sub-tropical embayment, Muscat, Sea of Oman
The contribution of three different cell size classes of picoplankton: 0.74-2 μm, nanoplankton:2–20 μm and microplankton, >20 μm of the phytoplankton population and their relationship to environmental conditions were studied over two annual cycles at one station in Bandar Khyran Bay, Sea of Oman, from May 2006 to August 2008. Nanoplankton was the most important class contributing 54.4% to tot...
