Modelling eggshell maculation [PDF]
The eggshells of many avian species are characterised by distinctive patterns of maculation, consisting of speckles, spots, blotches or streaks, the spatial-statistical properties of which vary considerably between (and often within) species ...

ABSTRACT Human mobility typically exhibits temporal and spatial predictability. However, during hazardous events, roadways, footpaths and public transport networks can be disrupted by detours, closures and congestion. Urban fires, exemplified by the October 2019 New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) fire in Auckland, New Zealand, are on ...

Surface roughness isinfluenced by type and intensity of soil tillage among other factors, and it changes considerably with rain. In microrelief studies the advantages of using indices such as the fractal dimension, D, and the crossover length, l, is that

Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds
Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

ABSTRACT Aim Ecotones are expected to be sensitive to climate change, but supporting evidence is scarce. Here we test the ecotonal sensitivity hypothesis by reconstructing past movements of a major temperature‐governed forest ecotone (the Tension Zone, separating temperate deciduous forests and northern mixed hardwood‐conifer forests) and comparing the

Transfer function-noise modeling and spatial interpolation to evaluate the risk of extreme (shallow) water-table levels in the Brazilian Cerrados [PDF]
Water regimes in the Brazilian Cerrados are sensitive to climatological disturbances and human intervention. The risk that critical water-table levels are exceeded over long periods of time can be estimated by applying stochastic methods in modeling the ...

Storage Potential of Soil Functional Carbon Fractions in the World's Largest Plantations
Climate warming and drying increase the loss of mineral‐associated and particulate organic carbon during the conversion of natural forests to plantations. Based on a survey of the world's largest plantations, the study quantifies the soil carbon deficit in plantations and assesses benchmarks and targets for functional soil organic carbon, highlighting ...

Spatial analysis and prediction of Curonian lagoon data with Gstat
The typical goal of geostatistical analysis is to interpolate values of variable under consideration at unobserved locations using data on observed locations because it is not feasible to gather all data of the observations in the study area.
