Wyant, J.G., Alig, R.J. and Bechtold, W.A., 1991. Physiographic position, disturbance and species composition in North Carolina coastal plain forests. For. Ecol. Manage., 41: 1-19. Relations among physiographic heterogeneity, disturbance and temporal change in forest composition were analyzed on 765 forest stands in the southern coastal plain of North Carolina. Physiographic position strongly r...

Management of desert grasslands requires rapid, low technology, coarse assessment methods that provide a triage-like prioritization for the manager. Such approaches necessitate the ability to quickly and effectively identify coarse-scale plant communities that provide guidance for this prioritization. Complex, computer intensive digital image classification of Landsat TM data, while marginally ...

Grassed waterways placed in high water flow zones substantially reduce erosion in agricultural fields. A recent study proposed a statistical model for waterway planning for a farm in the Outer Bluegrass physiographic region of Kentucky. The logistic regression model identified where channel erosion was likely to occur based on elevation-derived terrain attributes. The objective of this study wa...

Information based agriculture (IBA) includes matching of agronomic practices with soil and water characteristics and their spatial variability for enhancing productivity. An attempt was made to derive agriculture management zones based on soil and water characteristics for sustainable agricultural production in Mansa district (Punjab, India). Based on physiographic analysis and semi detailed so...

Using historical General Land Office record as a reference, this study employed a landscape-scale disturbance and succession model to estimate the future cumulative effects of six alternative management plans on the tree species composition for various physiographic settings for the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri. The results indicate that over a 200-year horizon, the relative abundance...
