[1] Many landscapes are composed of ridges and valleys that are uniformly spaced, even where valley locations are not controlled by bedrock structure. Models of long-term landscape evolution have reproduced this phenomenon, yet the process by which uniformly spaced valleys develop is not well understood, and there is no quantitative framework for predicting valley spacing. Here we use a numeric...

Populations of North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) declined throughout large portions of the continent during the early 1900s due to habitat degradation and unregulated trapping. River otters had been extirpated in North Dakota (ND), but the Red River Valley has since been recolonized, with potential source populations including the neighboring states of Minnesota or South Dakota, o...

Intense conversion of bottomland hardwood forests to rice and soybeans in the Mississippi River Valley of Arkansas has restricted the remaining forest to isolated fragments. Habitat fragmentation has proven to be detrimental to population sustainability of several species, and is the subject of intense study with often species and latitude specific responses. We compared both coarse land area c...

In the autumn of 2020 and spring 2021, archaeological geological field surveys were conducted within Nessebar Pomorie municipalities, as part project “Archaeology Landscape: Patterns Reconstruction Ancient Environment.” The aims to reconstruct landscapes Southern slopes Emine Stara Planina Mountain during Antiquity, well investigate human impact on environment sites. During surveys, 102 new sit...

Abstract Rivers and their surrounding lands are focal points of human development in the landscape. However, activities associated with can greatly affect river processes, causing significant often unintended environmental impacts. Despite profound varied impacts that development-related alterations cause through hydrological, geomorphic, ecological they not widely acknowledged outside manageme...

The Piuro 1618 landslide is renowned as one of the most catastrophic historical events Central Alps. landscape Bregaglia Valley has been successively modified to such an extent make it difficult ascertain source landslide, its deposits and setting ancient village. This study focuses on identification area dynamics, estimation involved volumes. geological map here proposed permitted reconstruct ...
