in the course of the present study, the results of parametric approach are compared with those obtained through fuzzy approach using ahp as well as multivariate regression methods for comparisons and investigating the efficiency of the fuzzy method as applied in land suitability assessments. the correlation coefficients between land index and observed yield in the study area through fuzzy appro...

Biological invasions and land-use changes are two major causes of the global modifications of biodiversity. Habitat suitability models are the tools of choice to predict potential distributions of invasive species. Although land-use is a key driver of alien species invasions, it is often assumed that land-use is constant in time. Here we combine historical and present day information, to evalua...

Based on the construction strategy of PSE with Web service, the framework of land suitability assessment PSE is created, and a prototype of land suitability assessment information system is designed and developed partially. The land suitability of Huangpi district Wuhan city is taken as a case to test the prototype system, and the result shows that the method is valid and efficient.

the present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in chaharmil mechanized farming center, ardestan town, isfahan province, iran. climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (analytical hierarchy p...

the study was carried out in the fields of department of agriculture, university of lorestan, iran(lat. 32°18´ n., long. 45°22´ e.). according to the data gathered in the nearest synoptic meteorological station, the studied region is classified under semi-arid climates. mean maximum and minimum daily temperatures have been recorded in july and january as 29.5 and 5.5°c, respectively. mean annua...

State wide variant topographic features in North Carolina attract the hydro-climatologist. There is none modeling study found that predict future Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) change for whole North Carolina. In this study, satellite-derived land cover maps of year 1992, 2001 and 2006 of North Carolina were integrated within the framework of the Markov-Cellular Automata (Markov-CA) model which com...

suitability analysis is a prerequisite for sustainable agricultural production and it involves evaluation of the environmental parameters. the development and creation of appropriate points for this land use without considering environmental capability will result in the appearance of several ecological, economic, and social problems. the multi-criteria decision making (mcdm) models were used f...
