Habitat suitability (HS) modeling relates a species’ potential presence/absence to a set of environmental variables. because of stochastic or demographic population fluctuations, relating abundance to environment is difficult and generally requires time-series of population-density data. Here, I propose an approach to compute relative capacity of a set of habitat classes. I defined relative cap...

By incorporating aspects of coordination and collaboration, workkow implementations of information systems require a sound conceptualisation of business processing semantics. Traditionally, the success of conceptual modelling techniques has depended largely on the adequacy of conceptualisation, expressive power, comprehensibility and formal foundation. An equally important requirement, particul...

in the course of the present study, the results of parametric approach are compared with those obtained through fuzzy approach using ahp as well as multivariate regression methods for comparisons and investigating the efficiency of the fuzzy method as applied in land suitability assessments. the correlation coefficients between land index and observed yield in the study area through fuzzy appro...

2.0 General The main objective of the present study is to assess the suitability of groundwater of the study area for drinking and irrigation. A preliminary survey of works carried out by previous investigators has reflected the suitability of weighted arithmetic index method for assessing the suitability for drinking and evaluation of Electrical Conductivity, SAR and RSC following BIS and CSSR...

Results As expected, all the three factors, propagule pressure, climate suitability and host availability, significantly explained quarantine arthropod invasions in Europe, but the propagule pressure only had a positive effect on invasion success when considered together with climate suitability and host availability. Climate change according to the A1F1 scenario generally increased the climate...

ABSTRACT. ––Land suitability assessment in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment is formulated as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Different MCDM approaches are developed to combine factors in a suitability analysis of land for potential land uses. These MCDM approaches are used to develop a generic suitability index. Approaches include both qualitative and quantitat...

The problem of evaluation of agricultural land suitability is consid­ ered as a fuzzy modeling task. For assessment of land suitability, it is proposed to use fuzzy indicators. Application of individual fuzzy indicators gives oppor­ tunity for assessment of suitability of lands as degree or grade of performance when the lands are used for agricultural purposes. Using composite fuzzy indi­ cator...
