We conducted a 2-year study to examine the impacts of resource access roads on carbon (C) exchange in two forested boreal peatlands (a bog and fen). Along six transects (perpendicular road), at 2, 6, 20 m from edge road both sides (RI areas), we measured understory CO2 fluxes bi-weekly May August 2016 2017 compared this measurements reference areas least 50 road. Furthermore, estimated abovegro...

In the article, a mathematical model for determining parameters of access road catastrophic situations on highways passing through mountainous area is developed. The reliability proven by experiment.

The ability to identify and collect low-volume roads’ data, especially gravel roads, is critical in transportation planning. Developing an effective method for gravel-road data collection allows both decision-makers local agencies efficiently obtain information regarding road conditions. In this study, a geographical system (GIS)-based decision- support was applied assist determining reliable a...

This paper describes a method for simulating the interactions of different human recreators in a complex natural environment by integrating intelligent agents and geographic information systems (GIS). The purpose of this model is to assist recreation planners and managers to evaluate a set of alternative management scenarios that i) alter the scheduling of recreators as they enter a park; ii) i...

This study used GIS to identify flood risk areas on the proposed Wapuli and Kpalba roads to help policy makers take a firm decision on which road to link Yendi, Saboba, Chereponi and Gushiegu districts in Northern Ghana. The aim was to identify and measure floodable areas on the proposed roads. Factors influencing flooding in the area are identified and reclassified to flood risk values based o...

We related winter habitat selection by Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), relative abundance of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus), and understory stem densities to evaluate whether lynx select stands with the greatest snowshoe hare densities or the greatest prey accessibility. Lynx (3 F, 3 M) selected tall (4.4–7.3 m) regenerating clear-cuts (11–26 yr postharvest) and established partially harveste...
