Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Human activities and global changes have undergone significant transformations in land systems. It is imperative to comprehend the intricacies of land use transitions (LUT), as they serve as indicators of the evolving dynamics within the complex human-environmental relationship. In this study, we adopt the conflict-coordination theoretical framework to

A functional perspective on the analysis of land use and land cover data in ecology
Ambio, 2020Assessments of large-scale changes in habitat are a priority for management and conservation. Traditional approaches use land use and land cover data (LULC) that focus mostly on "structural" properties of landscapes, rather than "functional" properties related to specific ecological processes. Here, we contend that designing functional analyses of LULC

Land-use impact on ecosystem functioning in eastern Colorado, USA [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2001 AbstractLand‐cover change associated with agriculture has had an enormous effect on the structure and functioning of temperate ecosystems. However, the empirical evidence for the impact of land use on ecosystem functioning at the regional scale is scarce.

Land‐use and site function in Acheulean complexes of the Somme Valley
World Archaeology, 1997Study 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 ...

Analysis of Polarimetric GNSS-R Airborne Data as a Function of Land Use
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2023In recent years, GNSS-R data have shown great potential in monitoring and characterizing the states of continental and ocean surfaces. Numerous studies have also demonstrated the potential of GNSS-R polarimetry, showing high precision for the estimation of surface properties such as vegetation, soil moisture, and flooded areas.

Land Use Function in Water Quality Management
, 1971. The Nation has entered a new era of water quality management in which land use policy and regulation must assume an increasingly important role. The benefits of tertiary and advanced waste treatment may be offset by contradictory land use and pollution

High-Elevation Land Use, Biodiversity, and Ecosystem Functioning
2006This chapter summarizes a few general principles that govern the functioning of highland biota with special reference to low latitudes and provides a brief summary of observations on highland pasture systems. It presents the arena for the global change implications for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in subtropical and tropical highlands.

Urban land use separability as a function of radar polarization
International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1987Abstract In this study the relationship between urban land use features and radar polarization was examined. Statistical tests were applied to density readings of HH-and HV-polarized X-band SAR imagery to determine: (1) differences in signal return among urban land use categories within a single polarization and (2) variations in signal return between ...

Phosphorus Variations in Surface Runoff from Agricultural Lands as a Function of Land Use
Journal of Environmental Quality, 1980AbstractPhosphorus (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
