Influence of land use on stream ecosystem function in a Mediterranean catchment

Freshwater Biology, 2008
Summary1. Due to the hierarchical organization of stream networks, land use changes occurring at larger spatial scales (i.e. the catchment) can affect physical, chemical and biological characteristics at lower spatial scales, ultimately altering stream structure and function.

Functional Analysis of the Land-use System in Urban Residential Areas

2010 International Conference on E-Business and E-Government, 2010
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the Sustainable Development Theory and the Theory of Urban Growth, this article which is based on the theoretical analysis of the function of the land-use system in urban residential areas has sorted out the function of it by using FAST technology and has preliminarily studied the calculation method of the ...

Formation of land administration system and land use as an economic function of the land ownership [PDF]

Balanced nature using, 2014
This paper deals with manifestation forms of land management and land use as an economic function of the property rights to land. The need to form an integrated system of land management and land use in Ukraine as an economic function of land ownership has been grounded.

Land‐use and site function in Acheulean complexes of the Somme Valley

World Archaeology, 1997
Study of the various Acheulean occupations at Cagny has demonstrated the existence of different specialized activities linked with specific geomorphological/locational contexts. These are the collection of raw materials from a chalk talus at La Garenne 2; flake knapping processes and biface manufacture at La Garenne 1; exploitation of large herbivore ...

Detection of land mines using fuzzy and possibilistic membership functions

The 12th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2003. FUZZ '03., 2004
This paper introduces a new system for real-time land mine detection using sensor data generated by a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The GPR produces a three-dimensional array of intensity values, representing a volume below the surface of the ground.

Upslope development of a tidal marsh as a function of upland land use

Global Change Biology, 2016
AbstractTo thrive in a time of rapid sea‐level rise, tidal marshes will need to migrate upslope into adjacent uplands. Yet little is known about the mechanics of this process, especially in urbanized estuaries, where the adjacent upland is likely to be a mowed lawn rather than a wooded natural area.

Wheat yield functions for analysis of land-use change in China

Environmental Modeling & Assessment, 1999
CERES-Wheat, a dynamic process crop growth model, is specified and validated for eight sites in the major wheat-growing regions of China. Crop model results are then used to test the Mitscherlich-Baule and the quadratic functional forms for yield response to nitrogen fertilizer, irrigation water, temperature, and precipitation.

Land use, hydrological function and economic valuation

2005
Land use change that accompanies economic development and population growth is intended to raise the economic productivity of land. An inevitable by product of this process is the alteration of natural vegetation and downstream hydrological function.

Phosphorus Variations in Surface Runoff from Agricultural Lands as a Function of Land Use

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1980
AbstractPhosphorus (P) carried in surface runoff from agricultural lands can be a major source of algal‐available P in surface waters. The available P may include both dissolved and some fraction of the sediment‐bound forms. In this study the effects of land use, time of year, and application of animal manure on several forms of P in runoff from farmed
