Applying multiple testing procedures to detect change in East African vegetation

open access: yes, 2014
The study of vegetation fluctuations gives valuable information toward effective land use and development. We consider this problem for the East African region based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) series from satellite remote ...

The Importance of Scale for Spatial-Confounding Bias and Precision of Spatial Regression Estimators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Residuals in regression models are often spatially correlated. Prominent examples include studies in environmental epidemiology to understand the chronic health effects of pollutants.

Some aspects about the spatial dependence index for variability of soil attributes

open access: yesCiência Rural, 2018
: The main purpose of this article was to evaluate the behavior and relationship of the range and components of SDI (Spatial Dependence Index) in general and in function of field factors such as soil types, type of attribute and soil layers.

GEOSTATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF SOIL PROPERTIES OF THE KARSTIC SUB-HORIZONTAL PLAIN OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background: In recently formed karst environments, as in the north of the state of Yucatan, Mexico, many chemical and physical properties of soils have a high spatial heterogeneity.

On the spatial clustering of behavioural phenotypes: matching movement tactics with landscape structure in a large herbivore

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Heavy Metals in Surface Soil of Xilinguole Coal Mining Area Based on Semivariogram

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021
Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental problem facing humankind. Locating the source and distribution of heavy metal pollutants around mines can provide a scientific basis for environmental control.

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Spatial heterogeneity of surface roughness on tilled loess slopes in erosion stages

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2018
The main soil erosion areas of the Chinese Loess Plateau are tilled slopes. The knowledge of their spatial heterogeneity will contribute to the understanding of erosion mechanisms on a microtopographic scale.

Species‐Specific Genetic Patterns in Sympatric Freshwater Turtles Challenge a Generalized Multi‐Species Conservation Approach

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure in the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina; left panel), Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii; bottom right), and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata; top right) sampled in areas of co‐occurrence across ~49,160 km2.

Variabilidade espacial de variáveis geobiofísicas nas nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Santa Cruz Spatial variability of geobiophysical variables in the springs of the Ribeirão Santa Cruz watershed

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2008
Objetivou-se, em Lavras, MG, caracterizar a estrutura e a magnitude de dependência espacial de variáveis ambientais nas nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Santa Cruz, por métodos de interpolação geoestatística.
