Habitat suitability models of mountain ungulates: identifying potential areas for conservation [PDF]
Zoological Studies, 2015 Determining the distribution of species and of suitable habitats is a fundamental part of conservation planning. We used slope and ruggedness of the terrain, forest type and distance to the nearest village to construct habitat suitability maps for three mountain ungulates (barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak), Himalayan goral (Naemorhedus goral) and ...

Soil suitability index identifies potential areas for groundwater banking on agricultural lands [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2015 Groundwater pumping chronically exceeds natural recharge in many agricultural regions in California. A common method of recharging groundwater — when surface water is available — is to deliberately flood an open area, allowing water to percolate into an aquifer. However, open land suitable for this type of recharge is scarce. Flooding agricultural land
