Acoustic Observations in Agricultural Landscapes
Sounds emanating from various habitats and ecosystems provide a rich source of information to interpret ecological phenomena at multiple scales. Acoustic communication is a fundamental property of many animals for breeding and defending territories (Fletcher 1953, Peterson and Dorcas 1994), and acoustic signatures can be used to measure the spatial and temporal distributions of vocal organisms ...
متن کاملA GEOBIA Methodology for Fragmented Agricultural Landscapes
Very high resolution remotely sensed images are an important tool for monitoring fragmented agricultural landscapes, which allows farmers and policy makers to make better decisions regarding management practices. An object-based methodology is proposed for automatic generation of thematic maps of the available classes in the scene, which combines edge-based and superpixel processing for small a...

The two farmers are, as individuals and as members of two distinct societies, of course different. At this particular point in t...
متن کاملModelling pollination services across agricultural landscapes.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Crop pollination by bees and other animals is an essential ecosystem service. Ensuring the maintenance of the service requires a full understanding of the contributions of landscape elements to pollinator populations and crop pollination. Here, the first quantitative model that predicts pollinator abundance on a landscape is described and tested. METHODS Using information ...
متن کاملWater Quality and Movement in Agricultural Landscapes
Water quality refers to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of surface waters and groundwaters that determine their suitability for use by humans and aquatic life. Both natural and managed landscapes provide an important ecosystem service by maintaining water quality, which is key for water supply, recreational use, aesthetic values, and biodiversity, including fish and wildl...
