A geographic information system (GIS) based manure application plan has been developed for the site-specific application of animal waste to agricultural fields in the Westbrook sub-catchment of the Murray-Darling Basin, south-east Queensland, Australia. Sites suitable for animal waste application were identified using a GIS based weighted linear combination (WLC) model. The degree of land suita...

Introduction: Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus Molina) is the most threatened flag species of Southern Patagonia, where conservation efforts were not effective to avoid the retraction of its distribution area. Habitat quality modeling can assist to design better management strategies for regional conservation planning. The objective was to elaborate one habitat suitability map for huemul, defining...

Water quality in Lagos's coastal area is prone to constant seawater intrusion due its proximity the Atlantic Ocean. Seawater aquifer a major challenge human survival and therefore needs urgent attention deficiency groundwater quality. This study applies integrated techniques map suitability zone (GSZ) around Lagos for sustainable development. The objectives were achieved by preparing eight diff...

1. To prepare various thematic layers such as drainage density, lineament density, slope, lithology, geomorphology and landuse/land cover using SOI topographical maps, remote sensing data and GIS. 2. To prioritize the weightages of individual themes and feature score depending upon their suitability to hold groundwater. 3. To prepare the integrated final groundwater potential map (GPM) using th...

Biological invasions and land-use changes are two major causes of the global modifications of biodiversity. Habitat suitability models are the tools of choice to predict potential distributions of invasive species. Although land-use is a key driver of alien species invasions, it is often assumed that land-use is constant in time. Here we combine historical and present day information, to evalua...

Blanding’s turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is a threatened species under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. In southern Québec, field based inventories are ongoing to determine its abundance and potential habitat. The goal of this research was to develop means for mapping of potential habitat based on primary habitat attributes that can be detected with high-resolution remotely sensed imagery. Using e...
