The influence of relief forms has been studied by several authors and explains the variability in the soil attributes of a landscape. Soil physical attributes depend on relief forms, and their assessment is important in mechanized agricultural systems ...

ABSTRACT High‐Andean forage systems are characterized by extensive management of cultivated forages, primarily through rotation of forage oats (Avena sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa), under marginal edaphoclimatic conditions. Within this context, soil sodicity severely constrains the productivity of these systems in the districts of Ayaviri and ...

Riverscape heterogeneity shapes population diversity for a migratory fish
Abstract Habitat patch dynamics can scale up to influence population demography and diversity with implications for resilience to environmental stochasticity. But how the spatial arrangement and size of habitat patches interact with other components of habitat heterogeneity to shape population diversity at larger spatial scales is not well understood ...

Measuring Spatial Dependence with Semivariograms
The semivariogram is a measure of statistical dependence and is closely related to the autocorrelogram. It is particularly suitable for analysis of spatial functions that describe natural phenomena characterized by a geographic distribution and variations which arc in part continuous and in part stochastic.

We study evapotranspiration (ET), a key flux in the hydrological cycle, across heterogeneous tropical land‐cover mosaics in lowland Sumatra featuring secondary forest patches, oil palm plantations, and shrubland. We apply high‐resolution UAV thermography and an energy‐balance model to derive ET across three mosaic landscapes (Areas 1–3).

Temperate lake heatwaves accelerate nonlinearly as timing synchronizes across a diverse landscape
Abstract Temperate lakes are experiencing intensifying heatwaves, or prolonged periods of anomalously warm water, with potentially severe ecological consequences. Previous studies have predominantly used linear trend analyses to understand heatwave dynamics, potentially masking temporal acceleration patterns and shifts in variance.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo explorar a aplicabilidade da teoria de fractais no estudo da variabilidade espacial em agregação de solo. A geometria de fractais tem sido proposta como um modelo para a distribuição de tamanho de partículas.

Abstract. This study presents a weighted semivariogram model (WSVM) which is intended to reduce the uncertainties in the selection of the best-fit semivariogram model and associated parameters. The proposed WSVM is based on the combined forecast method, providing the weighted average semivariogram by summing up the product of estimated semivariograms ...

Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage represents one of the most critical ecosystem services provided by soils, yet scientific assessments frequently focus on surface layers, overlooking deeper horizons. In this study, we investigated SOC stocks and spatial patterns of soil δ13C across three contrasting land use and land cover (LULC) types in ...
