Population Growth and Land Use Dynamics along Urban–Rural Gradient

Population Growth and Land Use Dynamics along Urban–Rural Gradient

In this study we apply a spatial conditional logit model to determine factors influencing land cover change in three contiguous counties in West Georgia between 1992 and 2001 using point (pixel) based observations of land characteristics. We found that accessibility to population and population growth affect not only development of rural lands and transition between agricultural and forestry us...

Impact of Population Growth and Urban Sprawl on Land Use and Forest Type Dynamics along Urban-rural Gradient*

In this study we applied a conditional logit model to determine factors affecting land cover change in three contiguous counties in West Georgia (Muscogee, Harris and Meriwether) during the period 1992-2001 and used this model to predict land cover changes during the period 2001-2021 based on the assumptions of population growth.

Phytoplankton primary production and photosynthetic parameters in reservoirs along a gradient of watershed land use

We investigated how watershed land use (a gradient of agricultural vs. forested land) relates to phytoplankton primary production (PPr) and photosynthetic parameters in 12 reservoirs in Ohio and examined spatial variation in these parameters. Shallow sites near stream inflows had higher light attenuation, total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll, nonvolatile suspended solids (NVSS), light-saturated p...
