Ecology and Management of a Forested Landscape
While official PM,,, monitoring data for South Carolina are not available, unpublished data indicate that emissions at rural sites exceed the annual PM,., concentration standard of 15 pg/m3 from April to September each year. The possibility that PM,,, standards might be exceeded near the forest-urban interface could restrict burning in the future. In contrast, PM,, concentrations seldom approac...
متن کاملLandscape Ecology and Ecosystems Management
This publication introduces the concepts and principles of landscape ecology for managing wildlife and other natural resources. It is intended to raise public awareness and give an overview of a new philosophy and method for managing natural resources at the landscape level. A landscape is a heterogenous area composed of a cluster of interacting ecosystems that are repeated in various sizes, sh...
متن کاملNatural search algorithms as a bridge between organisms, evolution, and ecology.
The ability to navigate is a hallmark of living systems, from single cells to higher animals. Searching for targets, such as food or mates in particular, is one of the fundamental navigational tasks many organisms must execute to survive and reproduce. Here, we argue that a recent surge of studies of the proximate mechanisms that underlie search behavior offers a new opportunity to integrate th...
متن کاملLandscape Models and Explanation in Landscape Ecology— A Space for Generative Landscape Science?
Further development of process-based spatial models is needed to facilitate explanation in landscape ecology. We discuss the dual modeling goals of prediction and explanation and identify challenges faced in explaining landscape patterns. These challenges are especially acute in attempts to explain patterns that result from complex adaptive systems. We compare examples of two process models use...
متن کاملEcoinformatics: supporting ecology as a data-intensive science.
Ecology is evolving rapidly and increasingly changing into a more open, accountable, interdisciplinary, collaborative and data-intensive science. Discovering, integrating and analyzing massive amounts of heterogeneous data are central to ecology as researchers address complex questions at scales from the gene to the biosphere. Ecoinformatics offers tools and approaches for managing ecological d...
