Fallow forests, which have been generated by shifting cultivation, cover large parts of the highlands of Northern Thailand. This paper presents the case study of a village, in which a particularly sustainable form of shifting cultivation was practiced until the early 1990s. Secondary forests, which regenerate on the fallow swiddens of this village were found to be surprisingly rich in tree spec...

7 Landscape genetics combines population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analysis to identify landscape and genetic factors that influence genetic and genomic variation. Progress in the field depends on a strong conceptual foundation and the means of identifying mechanistic connnections between environmental factors, landscape features, and genetic or genomic variation. Many existing a...

the present research with historical and epistemological dimensions, firstly studies the perception of urban landscape and its position in environmental interventions and also as a tool for analyzing the city during three temporal periods from 1960 till 1980; then by surveying the works in the fields of photography and cinema, studies the position of artistic visualization in urban landscape. t...

[1] There is an emerging viewpoint that the sediment flux at a given point on the landscape may be influenced by landscape properties in a region extending away from the point of interest. Using a general sediment transport model that incorporates this non-local nature via fractional derivatives, we find a strong asymmetry in the direction in which the non-locality affects a given point: For er...

Conservation diagnosis should identify which demographic parameters (or vital rates) are having a negative effect on the population growth rate of a threatened organism. Diagnosis can analyse how the environment is influencing the vital rates of this organism. In the present study, we tried to improve the diagnosis of a critically endangered seabird, the Balearic shearwater Puffinus mauretanicu...
