Land use and land cover change is driven by multiple influential factors from environmental and social dimensions in a land system. Land use practices of human decision-makers modify the landscape of the land system, possibly leading to landscape fragmentation, biodiversity loss, or environmental pollution-severe environmental or ecological impacts. While landscape-level ecological risk assessm...

Population diversification phenomena becomes quite common in villages located in China’s developed coastal area. Based on the analysis of the traditional rural society and its landscape characteristics, and in consideration of diversified landscape requirements due to the population diversification, with dual ideas of heritage and innovation, methods for rural landscape design were explored by ...

Biomaterial implant manufacturers have used rough surfaces to ensure better biocompatibility, less rejection and better adaptation of implants in the body. Proper characterization of biological interactions aod biocompatibility of biomaterials requires a thorough understanding of surface complexity. Surface roughness has often been shown to be important in influencing biological reactions with ...

Popcorn fractals are instances of Integrated Fractal Systems involving trigonometric functions. In this paper, we study the effect of spherical, swirl and pseudo-horseshoe functions on popcorn fractals to produce talismanic and tantric designs. General Terms Fractal, Algorithm, Turbo C++, Program.

urban population is growing rapidly and also its requirements are growing fast. this problem needs further attention on sustainability urban landscape. citizen’s participation and gradual cultural change considered among the best methods for developing and conserving the urban landscape. the aim of this study was to assess the impact of extension and education classes of plant clinics on sustai...

Digital terrain models (DTMs) are not commonly used to integrate for landscape spatial analysis. Two dimensional patch-corridor-matrix models are prototypes in landscape spatial ecology analysis. Previous studies have motivated ecologists to integrate terrain models in landscape analysis through 1) adjusting areas and distance calculations prior computing landscape indices; 2) designing new ind...

landscape fragmentation has threatened the landscape continuity of ray which was maintainedfrom prehistoric times until recent decades. from 19th century that tehran sprawl growth affected ray’slandscape as a satellite city of tehran, ray experienced rapid landscape fragmentation and underwent manychanges. in order to cope with the threat, the process of changes from landscape fragmentation sho...

In this paper, a service economic analysis framework is developed and applied in order to define, understand, explain and improve landscape services. Together with the ecosystem functions and externalities approach, landscape services are understood as intentionally provided targeted outcomes of agricultural production, with the objective to improve landscape quality. Based on this conceptualis...
