Spatially distributed estimates of ecological variables are generally required for use in geographic information systems (GIS) and models when dealing with many environmental phenomena [2]. In particular, the quality of GIS products depends often on local properties that vary in space. In this context, increased interest has been demonstrated to geostatistics, or spatial statistics, as an analy...

prediction of annual average precipitation over a regin is one of important issues in watersherd management and natural resources planning. geostatistics is one of the useful methods for precipitation prediction which varies based on type of the variable. this study was conducted in karoon and dez basins located in southwertern of iran. the data set including 20 years of annual precipitation of...

Being able to provide a quick and accurate pollutant maps from readings at isolated measurement stations is becoming more important today in light of the European norms on air quality and the public’s demand to be informed. Commonly used algorithms for cartography are quick but their accuracy remains to be determined. Firstly, the choice of method is arbitrary and based on user's subjective per...

drought monitoring is a fundamental component of drought risk management. it is normally performed usingvarious drought indices that are effectively continuous functions of rainfall and other hydrometeorological variables.in many instances, drought indices are used for monitoring purposes. geostatistical methods allow the interpolationof spatially referenced data and the prediction of values fo...

The concentrations of As, Hg, Co, Cr and Cd were tested for each soil sample, and their spatial patterns were analyzed by the semivariogram approach of geostatistics and geographical information system technology. Multivariate statistic approaches (principal component analysis and cluster analysis) were used to identify heavy metal sources and their spatial pattern. Principal component analysis...

abstract information about the spatial patterns of soil biodiversity is limited though required, e.g. for understanding effects of biodiversity on ecosystem processes. this study was conducted to determine whether soil macrofauna biodiversity parameters display spatial patterns in the riparian forest landscape of karkhe. soil macrofauna were sampled using 200 sampling point along parallel trans...

Information on the spatial distribution of plant disease can be utilized to implement efficient and spatially targeted disease management interventions. We present a pathogen-generic method to estimate the spatial distribution of a plant pathogen using a stochastic optimization process which is epidemiologically motivated. Based on an initial sample, the method simulates the individual spread p...

This article models, through Geostatistics, a database with space-time characteristics seeking to examine climate variations in the state of Bahia located Northeast region Brazil. dataset consists information from 86 stations recorded by National Institute Meteorology (INMET) January 2010 December 2022 for state. The focus analysis was study time series data related air temperature. Initially, ...

The corrosion degradation of the steel sheet pile material accelerates in recent years. extremely accelerated induces thickness loss and decreases mechanical characteristics. It is essential to evaluate corroded situations for design maintenance infrastructures. In this study, spatial characteristics service canals were evaluated by geostatistics with variogram kriging. experimental procedures,...
