Toward ecologically scaled landscape indices.
Nature conservation is increasingly based on a landscape approach rather than a species approach. Landscape planning that includes nature conservation goals requires integrated ecological tools. However, species differ widely in their response to landscape change. We propose a framework of ecologically scaled landscape indices that takes into account this variation. Our approach is based on a c...
متن کاملDiversification on an ecologically constrained adaptive landscape.
We used phylogenetic analysis of body-size ecomorphs in a crustacean species complex to gain insight into how spatial complexity of ecological processes generates and maintains biological diversity. Studies of geographically widespread species of Hyalella amphipods show that phenotypic evolution is tightly constrained in a manner consistent with adaptive responses to alternative predation regim...
متن کاملEffect of Landscape Pattern on Insect Species Density within Urban Green Spaces in Beijing, China
Urban green space is an important refuge of biodiversity in urban areas. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the landscape pattern of green spaces and biodiversity to mitigate the negative effects of urbanization. In this study, we collected insects from 45 green patches in Beijing during July 2012 using suction sampling. The green patches were dominated by managed l...
متن کاملGradient Analysis of Landscape Pattern Spatial-temporal Changes in Beijing Metropolitan Area, China
The gradient based landscape metrics analysis is now widely used to study the landscape pattern change in respond to urbanization. In order to discover the Beijing metropolitan area landscape pattern spatial and temporal change trends during the past 15 years, several landscape metrics are computed along a 96 km long transect crossing Beijing metropolitan area from west to east. Specially, the ...
متن کاملSoil quality improvement under an ecologically based farming system in northwest Missouri
Ecologically based farming conserves and improves the soil resource and protects environmental quality by using organic or natural resources without the application of synthetic chemicals. Soil quality assessment indicates the ability of management systems to optimize soil productivity and to maintain its structural and biological integrity. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of ecologica...
