This introduction to the special section on ‘‘Governing Agriculture-Forest Landscapes to Achieve Climate Change Mitigation’’ reviews external interventions to improve forest conditions and reduce deforestation, and by extension, influence carbon storage in agriculture-forest landscapes. The review is based on a careful survey of 123 cases of project-based and policy interventions to influence l...

Environmental management increasingly relies on information about ecosystem services for decision-making. Compared with regulating and provisioning services, cultural (CES) are particularly challenging to characterize measure at management-relevant spatial scales, which has hindered their consideration in practice. Social media one source of spatially explicit data where environments support va...

Rural history and implementing agri-policy are mirrored in an agricultural landscape. No doubt, the basic structure and composition of agricultural landscape depends on local climatic and natural conditions. There is a close connection between agricultural landscape management and biodiversity management at the gene, species and habitat level. The purpose of this paper is to present four ways t...

It is argued that those who defend the Everett, or `Many Worlds', interpretation of quantum mechanics should embrace what we call general theory open systems (GT) as proper framework in which to conduct foundational and philosophical investigation physics. GT a wider dynamical than its alternative, standard (ST). This true even though makes no modifications formalism. rather takes different vie...

Abstract Purpose While there are numerous studies comparing open-view autorefractors to subjective refraction or other autorefractors, most between closed and autorefraction tend focus on children rather than young adults. The aim of this study was determine the concordance in non-cycloplegic refractive error two modern objective autorefractors: closed-view monocular Topcon TRK-2P binocular Gra...

Urban landscapes and their possible changes can be visually represented in 3D Geovisualization. In this study, forthcoming changes at Aalborg University, Denmark, have been visualized in three different visual representations: a 2D Plan View, a simple 3D Model View and a photorealistic 3D World View. Ten subjects and two expert evaluators have been consulted with the purpose of studying the use...
