Estimation of Potential Natural Vegetation by Means of GIS

Journal of the Japanese Institute of Landscape Architects, 1992
自然環境の保全のために, 潜在自然植生を推定し, 本来の自然植生域の分布を把握することは重要な意味を持つ。従来, 潜在自然植生を推定する手法として遷移系列を用いた二次植生からの推定, 自然植生と土壌断面との対応関係を用いた推定, 土地利用などからの推定が用いられてきたが, 客観的な推定が行われてきたとは言えない面があった。本研究では環境要因と自然植生の対応関係を統計的手法を用いてモデル化し, 得られたモデルにより潜在自然植生を推定する方法を提示する。データとして国土数値情報などの数値地理情報, モデル化手法として多項ロジットを用いて, 日本列島の主要な自然植生についてモデル化を行い, 潜在自然植生を推定した。

Are potential natural vegetation maps a meaningful alternative to neutral landscape models?

, 2002
In this paper, we present a short overview of neutral landscape models traditionally adopted in the landscape ecological literature to differentiate landscape patterns that are the result of simple random processes from patterns that are generated from ...

Droplet Electricity Generators With Maximized Energy Collection Zone Enabled by Aloe‐Inspired Midrib and Cuticle

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Reference vegetation for restoration? Three vegetation maps compared across 76 nature reserves in Uganda and Kenya

Ecosphere
Forest and landscape restoration are increasingly popular nature‐based solutions to mitigate climate change and safeguard biodiversity. Restoration planning and monitoring implies that a reference ecosystem has been defined to which the restored site can

The seed bank of subtropical grasslands with contrasting land-use history in southern Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015
The expansion of land use for agriculture is among the main reasons for the reduction of natural grasslands around the world, and little is known about the recovery potential of original native grassland vegetation from seed banks.
